National Truffle Fair and San Martin Fair: tradition and territory

Gastronomic excellence and territorial tradition

November 8th marks a key date in the seasonal calendar with the return of the National Truffle Fair. The event aims to enhance the local food and wine heritage, focusing on the truffle, a prized tuber that serves as a symbol of the hilly landscape's identity. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the specific characteristics of this product through a rigorous selection of industry excellence, representing the direct expression of the region's biodiversity and productive expertise.

A crossroads of trade

In parallel with the culinary celebrations, the San Martin Fair takes place. The initiative transforms the urban fabric, covering the city's main thoroughfares with an setup featuring over 100 stalls. This historical event keeps the ancient tradition of autumn fairs alive, offering a varied panorama of product categories ranging from local handicrafts to everyday goods.

The fair is held within the historic city core, a prestigious architectural setting that highlights its centuries-old commercial vocation. The urban context, characterized by significant historical and artistic elements, favors an immersive visitor experience, where the continuity between past and present is manifested in the dynamism of the open-air market. The coexistence of the prestige of the food and wine product and the heterogeneity of the mercantile offer defines the identity of the event.
