The story

A lovely Alba on the occasion of the truffle fair; the little town swarms with people moving in an orderly way to look at all the good things on offer, and many foreigners bring fresh cash and know how to enjoy themselves in this land of plenty. The greatest attention is devoted to His Majesty the truffle, so good, so beautiful, yet untouchable; still, you can make do with the hazelnuts, or the tajarin, or plenty of wonderful rediscovered cheeses, some of which walk on their own... who knows why, but they are excellent. The historical parade is very pleasant, and then there will be the donkey race, where the problem is not arriving but managing to start...;-))))) Here are my photos, which I hope you enjoy. happy travels everyone ventoenuvole
