Asino-donkey







It's difficult to imagine life in Pitigliano without the nimble apettos. But not to long ago donkeys were the main means of transport in the rural area. Nowadays a monument on the Piazza della Repubblica commemorates the bond between contadino and asino.




A few steps further to the edge of the platform a beautiful sight shows the lush green valley surrounding the town and the little stream coming down the steep slopes in cascades.
