Magnificent presentation of this awesome town. The Jewish Synagogue and its neighborhood and history behind it make Pitigliano very special place. I'm a history buff and I enjoyed that very much. All those people on the streets bring a special charm to the tour. Beautiful panoramic view around town. Thanks, Riccardo, good job.

Love these towns, and Italy has so many! Not overrun with tourists. The narrow winding up and down stairs/lanes between the old buildings. Like a maze. And the panorama from the top, WOW! Nice that you met some cats along the way, the ginger that you could pet is like my cat. Love the drone video, as usual, excellent, Riccardo!👍👍

[@StillWanderer]

Thank you dear Geraldine, indeed, it's one of those towns with a kind of special aura... Hard to explain. Liked it , not my best or favourite but truly charming! That ginger car, ah... nice to know it's like yours. He followed me around too later) Wish you a nice Sunday!

Not only are the vids interesting, but the format is just perfect : drone intro, then no shitty music, historical info in the closed captions, and to top it all off, Riccardo takes the time to answer his viewers in the comments. This is a gem.

Hi Riccardo, just wanted to say that I enjoyed your videos of Riomaggiore, San Martino al Cimino and Pitgliano. I found them to be interesting places to visit. And I always look forward to learning about the history of each town you visit. Every place you visit has their own unique story to tell from the distant past. Always appreciate these videos of yours and I also enjoy seeing the cats who seem to be some kind of welcoming committee. These places are real gems indeed.

[@StillWanderer]

Dear Lang, I was wondering if you did, glad you liked them. Agreed, as they truly can be quite different from town to town... each one unique in their own way also I must say... Lately I've not gone to Rome for long periods, but with this weather... raining... maybe I'll also show some raining Rome walk soon.

Hope you can do a night drone over a town or city during the upcoming holiday season depending on the weather condition at night to not sure how drones do in 40 degree’s or lower temperatures???? 👍🇮🇹📸

[@StillWanderer]

Thank you Bruce... Amazing idea by night... I NEVER thought actually about this... I'll try to invent something... could be actuallt pretty awesome. They work well in lower temp, it's in the high ones where the problem can arise. But it's a sturdy drone I found out. I surely must try this. I'm even thinking of uploading a new video only with drone footage of all the towns... like 1 hour long for each region. Maybe could also be interesting?

[@cbeark]

I always thought you were on a segway, I just now saw in the shadow that you use a camera on a stick! Wow, such steady shots when walking and going up steps, amazing!

[@StillWanderer]

Oh glad you liked that result Cbear K. During my first year of filming I wasn't using anything special and hence, that's why the videos were so "wobbly" with that irritating up-and-down movement. I then started digging in finding a solution and came up with a kind of stabilization system under the selfie stick which eliminates (mostly) that movment! I truly hate that movement when watching these kind of videos so... Sometimes in crowdy towns I don't use it though, as it's rather heavy and bulky, but the difference are indeed quite something) Glad somebody can recognize this and appreciate it!

[@cbeark]

@@StillWanderer Aww, its so nice to hear from you! So many channels stop replying to comments these days so its truly a lovely surprise ^_^ Thank you for explaining how that works with the stabilization from the selfie stick, I was truly in awe when I saw you go up the steps and I was like wait...hes not on a segway! Then I saw the shadow and reflection of the stick and my mouth hit the floor lol. Just incredibly well done. Your videos are one of the most peaceful corners of youtube, and a grand adventure for those of us who will never make it to these wonderful places. Wishing the very best!

Thank you Shmuel! Indeed, I wanted definitely to film more in the Jewish quarter and Synagogue but as I saw that there was a queue and a person checking the entrance, I felt as it was impossible to film inside. :/ In Sorano, nearby, for example, I did a very nice walk in the Jewish quarter there as well, as it's open and quite interesting as well, even if less famous than Pitigliano. The jewish history in Pitigliano is definitely ancient and quite important one in Italy

[@sami8009]

@@paperinik69 There is a story in the Talmud - one of some depicting the relations between Rabbi Yehuda the Prince with a Roman ceasar, Antoninus - that tells about a meal that the both had in the house of the Jewish sage. It was a Shabbat feast and the Roman ceasar enjoyed it very much. He asked for the recipe. When they met again, the Roman expressed his disappointment, becaue it wasn't as tasty as the one he ate the first time. The Jewish sage told him that that one had a special spice called Shavat. The letters of Shabbat and Shavat are the same in Hebrew. It's true that there is such a spice, but the lesson was that the spirituality of the holy day, Shabbat, is what renders this dish a special material taste. We are commanded to eat three meals every Shabbat, This is actualy the only Torah commandment that is aimed to give a material pleasure. The target of the rest of the commandments is not to materially enjoy in this ephemeral world, but to depart a spiritual eternal joy.
