Artissima and White Truffles of Piedmont

Private journeys through Piedmont during two of the region's most celebrated seasons: Artissima Fair in late October and the White Truffle Festival in Alba, which runs through late December.

Combining contemporary art, truffle hunting, Michelin-starred dining, vineyard landscapes, and one of Europe's most important art fairs, this program offers a slower and more intimate alternative to larger international cultural events.

Why Turin

Long before Milan became Italy's commercial capital, Turin established itself as one of the country's intellectual and cultural centers.

Today, its remarkable concentration of museums, foundations, private collections, and contemporary art institutions makes it one of Europe's most rewarding destinations for collectors and culturally curious travelers.

During Artissima, the entire city becomes part of the experience.

ABOUT ARTISSIMA

Artissima: October 30-November 1, 2026

If you are unable to travel on this date, consider enjoying White Truffle festivities in Piedmont anytime between October and December, and add a day trip to Turin.

Explore Italy's leading contemporary art fair and one of Europe's most respected platforms for discovery.

Set in Turin—the intellectual heart of Piedmont—Artissima fair attracts those interested in discovery rather than spectacle.

Our programs extend beyond the fairgrounds into the city, revealing why Turin remains one of Italy's most important contemporary art capitals.

Piedmont At Its Best

The world's great cultural capitals often compete for attention.

Piedmont does the opposite.

Here, some of Italy's most important contemporary art institutions exist alongside vineyard landscapes that have changed little in centuries. Collectors spend their mornings discovering emerging artists and their evenings around tables where conversations unfold over Barolo, white truffles, and some of the country's most celebrated cuisine.

Truffle season transforms Piedmont into one of the world's most sought-after culinary destinations, especially around the Langhe Hills.

The result is a journey that feels less like an event and more like a way of life.
