EDITORS COMMENTS
Card 2 of 6: A Captivating Moment in the Piedmontese Truffle Hunt Amidst the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy, in the early 20th century, the allure of the elusive summer truffle continued to enthrall those who sought its earthy, aromatic delight. In this evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness a dedicated group of hunters and their canine and porcine companions embarking on the age-old pursuit of these precious fungi. The scene unfolds in a lush, sun-dappled woodland, where the verdant greens of the foliage provide a striking contrast to the rich, dark soil beneath. The hunters, dressed in traditional attire, are intently focused on the task at hand, their eyes scanning the ground for any telltale signs of the elusive truffles. But in this corner of the hunt, the spotlight falls on the trained pig, Truffles Liebig 2, whose keen sense of smell has led him to the hidden treasure. With a triumphant snuffle, he unearths a prized summer truffle, its rough, irregular surface speckled with earth and moisture. The excitement of the discovery is palpable, as the hunters gather around the pig, their faces alight with a sense of accomplishment and wonder. The truffle is carefully lifted from the ground, its value and rarity acknowledged with reverence. As the sun begins to set, the group gathers around a roaring fire, the truffles roasting to release their intoxicating aroma. The air is filled with the heady scent of the earth, the woodsmoke, and the promise of a sumptuous feast. The day's hunt may be over, but the allure of the truffle remains, a testament to the enduring magic of nature and the human spirit.
