Pitigliano is a town in the province of Grosseto, located about south-east of the city of Grosseto, in Italy. The municipality covers an area of and has 3,971 inhabitants, with a density of 39 inhabitants per square kilometre. The quaint old town is known as ''the little Jerusalem'',〔http://www.pitifest.it/pit.htm Pitigliano "little Jerusalem"〕 for the historical presence of a Jewish community that has always been well integrated into the social context and that have their own Synagogue. ==History== Pitigliano and its area were inhabited in Etruscan times but the first extant written mention of it dates only to 1061. In the early 13th century it belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family and by the middle of the century it had become the capital of the surrounding county. In 1293 the county passed to the Orsini family, signalling the start of 150 years of on-again/off-again wars with Siena, at the end of which, in 1455, a compromise of sorts was reached: Siena acknowledged the status of county to Pitigliano, which in exchange placed herself under the sovereignty of Siena. From then onwards the history of Pitigliano resorbs into the gradually wider ambit first of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1562) then of the united Kingdom of Italy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pitigliano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
