Arrone Black Truffle Festival

The Truffles of Valnerina

The Arrone Black Truffle Festival focuses on the summer black truffle (scorzone), one of the specialties of Valnerina, the valley of the Nera river winding through the province of Terni. Known as the valley's "black gold," truffles have been a resource of these woods for centuries, and in Arrone, they become the star of a festival that combines taste, nature, and tradition.

Dishes and Atmosphere

The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Arrone, takes place at the sports facilities in Via Pié d'Arrone. The gastronomic stand offers a menu entirely dedicated to truffles: tagliatelle, gnocchi, bruschetta, meat dishes, and even desserts, all accompanied by local wines. Every evening, the festival is enlivened by live music.

Among the Truffle Woods

In addition to the culinary aspect, the festival offers guided walks and tours in the truffle woods surrounding the village, providing an opportunity to get up close with the natural environment of Valnerina and learn about truffle hunting techniques. Arrone, a medieval village just a few kilometers from the famous Marmore Falls, provides the ideal backdrop for an event that celebrates the valley's identity.
