The National Fair of the prized White Truffle of Pergola reaches a prestigious milestone. The one scheduled for the Sundays of 4, 11 and 18 October will be the twentieth edition, that of "awareness" as underlined by the mayor Francesco Baldelli.
It was organized by the Municipal Administration in collaboration with the Marche Region, the Chamber of Commerce and Confcommercio of Pesaro and Urbino, the CIA and with the prestigious patronage of the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies and the Expo.
The ingredients for yet another success, as many as 70 thousand visitors in the past edition, are all there: a market exhibition of food and wine specialties, which has reached 2 kilometers of exhibitors of typical products of the highest quality, with the Casa del Tartufo at the center, where find the "diamond of the earth"; tastings, guided tours, quality dinners, concerts, shows, exhibitions and initiatives for children.
“The Fair - explains Baldelli - in these last 6 editions has grown exponentially to become not only National, but also one of the most important showcases for our Region. Many factors testify to this: the number of exhibitors in continuous increase; the ever-increasing number of visitors, including foreign visitors; the attention that the media give to the three Sundays dedicated to the truffle.
Also this year the Fair promises to be full of initiatives and guests, with the aim of enhancing the best eno-gastronomic products: from wines, such as Pergola Doc, to oil, from cheeses to the Visciolato di Pergola aphrodisiac, but the protagonist is always the “King of autumn flavors, the Truffle”.
A truffle of absolute quality. “The Pergola Truffle is a symbol, a unique and recognizable value of our land. A niche product that the community is promoting with great commitment to make it one of the drivers of the local economy and the promotion and enhancement of the city. It is a product from our territories, no imported truffles. An absolute excellence! "
Baldelli launches a very interesting proposal that could bring important benefits from an economic and tourist point of view: the road of the prized truffle of the Marche. “An itinerary of the prized truffle. The idea is to change the name of the provincial roads, now identified with "cold" numbers, and create a provincial road for the prized white truffle. In our territory there are three national fairs, we are the largest territory in Italy where quality truffles are produced. We will identify ourselves everywhere with evident benefits from an economic and tourist point of view. This proposal was well received and we will push for it to materialize ”.
As per six editions to this part, the Fair will be characterized by interesting contents. The protagonists are cuisine, culture and art. “After the extraordinary public success of the previous editions, thanks to the relaunch strongly desired by our Municipal Administration, three Sundays full of top quality initiatives have been set up that will certainly attract thousands of tourists. It will range from food and wine, with tasting points, taste itineraries, to culture, with guided visits to the artistic and architectural beauties of the city ”.
L'Oro di Pergola shines again in the main streets of the city in one of the most important fairs dedicated to the prince of the earth. A market exhibition of food and wine specialties in constant growth that has reached two kilometers of exhibitors of typical products of the highest quality. At its center is the Casa del Tartufo, where the best "signatures" of the Precious Truffle display their "diamonds of the earth" while, in the "Marche to eat" restaurant, specially set up in the historic center and cared for by the owner of the "Garden" Massimo Biagiali, special truffle-based dishes from the best tradition of our land can be tasted.
Three chefs of excellence were called to interpret the territory and its products, and among these, in particular, the Truffle. Vittorio Serritelli is chef and teacher of the Professional Hospitality Institute “A. Panzini ”of Senigallia. He is currently also coordinator of the Institute's catering services. His experiences abroad have allowed him to find new solutions to the relationship between tradition and innovation in the kitchen. A tradition that continues to be a great pride of regional cuisine as well as the exploration of innovative and, in some ways, "revolutionary" gastronomic routes.
Riccardo Agostini is the patron and chef of the restaurant “Il piastrino” in Pennabilli (RN), on the hills between Romagna and Marche where he was born. After an experience alongside Luigi Sartini, at the Taverna Righi in San Marino, he was Gianfranco Vissani's right arm for 10 years. Then he arrives at the “Povero Diavolo” of Torriana. Today, alongside his wife Claudia, in the restaurant “Il piastrino” he offers refined, cultured, light and intelligent cuisine, the result of simple and at the same time gourmet recipes. Massimo Bomprezzo is a chef with numerous experiences abroad and in Italy, animator of important events on the promotion of blue fish of the legendary Stocco and a lover of Street Food preparations. As he himself says, "from the love of the sea comes the passion for hunting and truffles". Massimo is one of those great chefs who live cooking with passion and manage to convey joy, emotions and unique sensations through their profession.
