Meet Your Truffle Hunter in Tuscany – Domenico

I was born into a family of truffle hunters, where the passion for this precious search ran through everyone’s veins since the time of my great-grandparents. Since I was a child, I accompanied my grandfather in the woods, helping him train the dogs and immersing myself in a family tradition that has its roots around 1920, learning all the secrets of the trade. And so, the tradition was passed down from generation to generation, and I grew up immersed in this fascinating universe, becoming part of a story that continues to live through my family. Today, Domenico leads authentic truffle hunting experiences in Tuscany, sharing his family tradition with travelers from all over the world.
