In the morning, a good breakfast from a champion is just what you need to face the day!
Early in the morning, you set off with Antonio and one of his friendly dogs for a truffle hunt!
You will turn into truffle hunters for a day. You will follow the dog, which, depending on its breed, character, age and experience, will behave in its own characteristic way!
