San Miniato is a small center in Tuscany, 40 km away from Florence, also known for its white truffle.

The the hills surrounding the town represent a prominent truffle-producing area for the search of white truffle. Because of that San Miniato is also called “The City of Truffles”.
The combination of forest fauna and geological substratum, makes possible the presence of this valued tuber in this area (the white truffle is even harder to find — and also more valued, than the black truffle).

During the last three week-ends of November San Miniato celebrates its white truffle with a festival that also offer many other local specialties, such as wine, olive oil, and cheeses.

The “Italian Center of the West” of Salt Lake City, Utah, will be sponsoring a Latium themed evening on November 15. “Regions of Italy“, a free film and lecture series will be featuring “Latium is the cradle of Roman civilization“.

Latium is the cradle of Roman civilization and it is incredibly rich in outstanding relics of the different periods. The region has always been the center of an intensive artistic life, which, from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century, has had as cardinal point the presence of the Church (the Vatican City, seat of the papacy, is in the heart of Rome).

The guest speaker will be Manuela Tavi-Hanson, Art- History & Italian Literature BA, Merit Scholarship at BYU.
A short documentary from the Rick Steves Italy series about Rome will be shown. A Q& A session will follow and a taste of Rome, food from Italy.
