About Me, Vittorio

A Personal Passion for Truffles

I was born in Florence in 1962. I started my career as a publisher in the food & wine field in the '90s, and I gained extensive wine knowledge. In early 2000 I met Giulio and Francesca, two professional truffle hunters operating in the Tuscany region, and with them, I decided to open Truffle Hunter to promote the culture of truffles worldwide. Now I have my own Lagotto Romagnolo too, and I help my friends to hunt truffles in the season of white.

This website has been thought for all people who like truffles. We have designed many truffle hunting tours where you will be taken to hunt this delicious product. Tuscany is one of the most important regions in Italy for truffle production — each variety of truffle has its own particular, typical aroma, suitable for specific culinary uses.
