From 6 to 15 November 2026 Tartufando is back: the week that Genoa's old town devotes to truffles. It is organised by CIV Sarzano-Sant'Agostino, the association of local shops, and takes place around Piazza Sarzano and in other streets of the old city. Market stalls and food stands offer white and black truffles, porcini mushrooms and typical products from the Ligurian hinterland, alongside craft stalls. The programme includes live cooking demonstrations and tastings, while the restaurants taking part in the city circuit serve special truffle menus throughout the week. It is a good excuse to explore one of the oldest parts of Genoa in a quiet season.
