Join us for the Dante Winter 2026 Film Series: "Buried Treasures/Tesori sepolti"Series Description:
This season’s films involve digging for buried treasures, both literal and metaphorical. From tomb raiders searching for Etruscan artifacts in Tuscany, to truffle hunters in the forests of Piedmont, to a documentary bringing the overlooked legacy of A.P. Giannini to light, these films celebrate the thrill of the hunt and the joy of discovery.
The second film in the series is: Trifole. Directed by Gabriele Fabbro. 2025. 100 min
Trailer:
The hunt begins! Set against the beauty of the Piedmont region’s autumn woods, Trifole is a moving adventure about family, tradition, and finding one’s place in the world. When 28-year-old Dalia is sent by her mother (played by seven-time David di Donatello Award winner Margherita Buy) to care for her aging, truffle-hunting grandfather, Igor, from whom she has become disconnected, she finds herself thrust into a world of rival truffle hunters and elite truffle markets. Her unlikely bond with her grandfather leads her on a hunt for a legendary truffle that could change their lives.
The filmmakers spent years researching this story by speaking with farmers and foragers and in many ways Trifole serves as a document of the ancient and endangered world of truffle hunters and the truffle industry.
