A special edition for Nero Norcia, celebrating 60 years of love for truffles

"The Valnerina we tell in these pages," says journalist Gilberto Scalabrini, who edited the special issue, "is the Valnerina of silence and tranquility, of flavors and traditions, of excellent food and wine products and walks."
