Quick Answer

Pitigliano's Zona a Traffico Limitato (ZTL) restricts non-permit vehicles from the historic centre. Access is permit- and residency-based, not tied to your engine's Euro emission class. Cameras enforce it; the fine runs EUR 83-332 (30% off if paid within 5 days). Registered hotel guests can have their plate whitelisted.

Locally the zone is called Zona a Traffico Limitato Pitigliano (Italy) — that is the wording on the boundary signs, on the official portal and on any penalty notice, so it is the phrase to search for once you are there.

Check your own car against Pitigliano — enter your fuel and Euro class, get a yes or no in one step.
Pienza has a zone too — the nearest one to Pitigliano, and the rules are not identical.
