Sant'Agata Feltria and the Truffle Festival in October




    What to do in autumn if you don't go to festivals? And here we propose the white truffle festival in Sant'Agata Feltria, in the province of Rimini. Last Sunday I also took advantage of it, as a good gourmand, and we embarked on this little journey into the countryside Valmarecchia Rimini.

    Sant'Agata Feltria is a small mountain town in the Rimini area that every year organizes, on the four Sundays of October, the festival dedicated to this precious and curious tuber and is just over 40 km from Rimini. Thousands of people flock to the medieval streets and honestly you will find it hard to say no to the numerous free tastings offered by cheese stands, various cured meats and more. So after we skilfully juggled tasting various pecorino, pit cheese and salami with wild boar truffled, we went on the classic for lunch and with 8 €, for example, you can taste a plate of tagliatelle with grated white truffle. Where is it? Under the large tent positioned at the entrance to the fair.

    Obviously you will also find other dishes to taste, but always at the price of eight euros. Have you already spent too much on blue cheeses, cheeses aged in marc, salami with truffles? You can always opt for a cassoncino with mozzarella and porcini stuffing a 3 €, not far from the tent but, honestly, you will be spoiled for choice. Being a fair dedicated to truffles in Piazza Garibaldi you will find several stands with "truffle hunters" from different areas of Italy. So you will find tubers coming from places outside the Santagatese territory. While you are there, continue beyond the square and climb up to the imposing Rocca Fregoso which dominates the town from above and offers a spectacular view.



    So you still have the weekends ahead of you 21 and 28 October next to organize a weekend in Rimini and perhaps with a small Sunday escape in the mountains. A note: you may find it hard to find parking so either park in the designated areas with 2 euros, or arm yourself with patience and wait for someone to leave you the place along the road.
