Why go

This is a slower town walk for visitors drawn to streets, buildings and everyday cultural life. Start at the synagogue exterior and follow the western lanes to San Giacomo, the former theater and town hall. Casa Parlante and the Music Museum sit close to the route and add indoor detail if their current opening arrangements suit your day. Finish by exploring the old town streets as a place in their own right, looking at how the small lanes connect to the grander civic spaces. The two museums are optional because their hours are unverified here; the outdoor walk remains useful without either one.
