Let yourself be guided by the staff of “La Piccola Gerusalemme” inside the Synagogue of 1598 and the underground rooms used by the Community since the 16th century: the ritual bath (Mikvè), the oven for unleavened bread, the slaughterhouse and the kosher cellar, the dry cleaners.
The first Jews arrived in the 15th century and it was David de Pomis, personal physician of Count Niccolò IV Orsini, who called Pitigliano-Sorano-Sovana “lands of refuge”. From here begins the history of the Community, made up of constraints and deprivations, but also of solidarity, brotherhood and mutual aid.
In 1996 the association “La Piccola Gerusalemme” was founded by Elena Servi, the last Jewish woman left in the village, creator and curator of the museum itinerary.
