Tartufesta del Po

Tartufesta del Po is an unmissable event for gastronomy lovers and white truffle enthusiasts, one of the most precious culinary treasures of the Mantuan territory. From November 6 to 29, 2026, Carbonara di Po transforms into an ideal destination to discover the authentic flavors of local cuisine, where white truffle is the undisputed star of both traditional dishes and modern reinterpretations. The festival celebrates not only this extraordinary ingredient but the entire gastronomic tradition of Lombardy, offering visitors a complete sensory experience. During the four weeks of festivities, gastronomic stands come alive with culinary offerings that showcase truffle in all its forms: from fresh pasta to soups, risottos to main courses, always accompanied by wines and local specialty products that enhance the flavors of the Mantuan land. Beyond culinary delights, Tartufesta offers a wide range of entertainment and complementary activities. The market dedicated to local producers allows you to purchase fresh truffles, PDO cheeses, traditional cured meats, and prestigious wines directly from Mantuan producers. Educational workshops on truffle hunting and processing, expert-guided tastings, and folk performances celebrating local culture are also planned. Carbonara di Po thus becomes an open-air gastronomic laboratory, where tradition and passion for food meet, offering visitors the opportunity to understand the historical and cultural importance of truffle in Italian cuisine.
