The Museum of Palazzo Orsini is housed within the historic Palazzo Orsini, a grand palace-fortress that dominates the center of Pitigliano and reflects centuries of noble and military history.

Originally developed from a medieval stronghold and later expanded by the powerful Orsini family, the building is one of the town’s most important landmarks. The museum contains more than twenty richly decorated rooms featuring frescoes, historic furnishings, religious treasures, paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, and works by notable Italian artists.

Its collections preserve important artworks and artifacts gathered from churches and religious institutions throughout the region. Today, the museum offers visitors a fascinating journey through the history, art, and culture of Pitigliano and the Orsini family. Along with its impressive collections, the palace itself provides a unique glimpse into Renaissance architecture and the heritage of one of Tuscany’s most picturesque hill towns.
