In late September, the scorching temperatures of summer give way to cool breezes and mellow sunshine.

The air buzzes with energy, and fields and forests are filled with promising harvests of culinary delights such as pumpkins, mushrooms and truffles. 

As the clocks change and winter comes knocking, we snuggle up with comforting soups, hearty stews and indulgent desserts.

Autumn is the perfect time to explore (and taste) what Italy has to offer.
