Mondaino transforms into a temple of Romagna gastronomy with 'Fossa, tartufo e venere', a celebration dedicated to two territorial excellences that have made the region famous worldwide. From November 23-30, 2026, this charming medieval village welcomes visitors and food enthusiasts eager to discover how truffle and fossa cheese come together in extraordinary dishes, creating pairings that highlight the artisanal quality and authenticity of local ingredients.
