There's more to Italian Fall
than you think
M
y memories of the Fall
are so stereotipically
Italian they could go on
a postcard. Those I cherish the
most, of course, come from my

truffles, wild mushrooms and
vendemmia.
Memories of handmade

and topped with layers and layers
of white truffle shavings: dad was
-and still is - a keen truffle hunter

have always abounded at home,
to the point I only realized how
expensive and exclusive they
were when I moved abroad.
Memories of the Mostra del
Fungo, the most important recur-
rence in my village. Well,
clearly, the most important recur-
rence that doesn't involve our
patron saint and is not Easter or
Christmas. Of course, wild mush-
rooms we ate throughout the Fall,
but the weekend of the Fair, there
was always breaded fried porcini
