In the heart of the splendid Val Baganza, the underground chambers of the ancient prisons in Calestano host an immersive journey dedicated to the Fragno Truffle. Celebrated by Petrarch in one of his odes, the truffle's millennia-long history is tied to local families, the art of truffle hunting with dogs, and its mysterious botany. Visitors are guided through its unmistakable aromas, the truffle's curious reproductive strategies, and its role in gastronomy.
The experience also invites exploration of the fascinating lands where the truffle thrives—amidst charming villages, castles, the striking "Devil's Jumps" with the stonemason's path, pristine forests, and unforgettable landscapes.
