A Visit to Savigno, the City of Truffles

by Irene S. Levine

Culinary tourists have fallen in love with the bounty of Emilia Romagna, the region in northern Italy that is home to the holy trinity of prosciutto ham from Parma, traditional balsamic vinegar from Modena, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Less well known, however, is that the region is also a truffle-lover’s paradise, especially in autumn when white truffles are abundant. Amerigo 1934, a small trattoria known for its truffle-centric menus in the tiny hill town of Savigno, may be one of the best places to enjoy this earthy delicacy.
