Tartufi d'Autore
About us
The Company
Tartufi D'Autore, founded in 1948, is the realisation of a dream of its founder Romano Gentili, known as Uncle Romano:
To export the truffle all over the world and have it appreciated by all cultures.
Thus, his childhood memories, his love and his passion became the essence of his company.
This is how, over time, he came to be affectionately known as Uncle Romano.
Zio Romano
The Founder
Uncle Romano, founder of Tartufi D'Autore, was born in 1934 in Piave, a province in the Marche region.
Since his childhood, his greatest passion was to work in the food industry.
When he arrived in Rome, he immediately started working in small food shops, and for the rest of his life he specialised in the search for excellent raw materials.
Slowly he began to build his career and together a large circle of friends, who became like a second family, began to affectionately call him "Uncle".
