Fiera Nazionale del Tartufo di San Damiano d'Asti e Fiera dei Santi
San Damiano d'Asti's national white-truffle fair, held together with the old Fiera dei Santi: a truffle market in Piazza Libertà and Via Roma, a truffle competition, simulated truffle hunts and food stands.
Why it's special
A national-level truffle fair — truffle market, tastings at the Enoteca Regionale Colline Alfieri, simulated truffle hunting in the village's educational truffle grove and shows — paired with the traditional Fiera dei Santi.
