Le Marche, the new Tuscany
A treasure for passionate and discerning travellers
July 06, 2014
I have always believed at love at first site. I know exactly what I like and when I walk into a hotel or a restaurant I immediately sense whether or not I will have a good experience. This is exactly what happened when I visited le Marche. Most people fall in love with Italy because of its beautiful landscape, great food and picturesque cities. I was one of them. But let me tell you something: as beautiful as it may be it is incredibly unappealing to walk in the main piazza of any town and hear every language but Italian. Passionate and discerning travellers always seek and treasure authenticity, which is what in my opinion, differentiates a holiday from an experience.
World’s Largest White Truffle
A treasure for passionate and discerning travellers
06 DECEMBER 2014
Sotheby’s New York is delighted to offer the largest truffle in the world in conjunction with the Balestra Family of Sabatino Truffles this Saturday at 9:15 am. The truffle was found last week in the Umbrian region of Italy weighing 4.16 pounds or 1.89 kilos. This massive size is nearly twice that of the existing record holder, which was sold for $417,200 in 2010. Bidding for this extraordinary white truffle is expected to begin around $50,000 and the Balestra family plans to donate proceeds to a number of charitable organizations, including Citymeals-on-Wheels and the Children’s Glaucoma Foundation.
