tartufo

Every fall in the misty Langhe region, men and dogs set out in search of the tartufo bianco (white truffle) of Alba, one of the most highly prized delicacies of Italian cuisine. It is an ingredient in Piedmontese fondue, and is eaten with tagliatelle, polenta and many other dishes, accompanied for preference with one of the great red wines of the area, barolo , dolcetto , or even barbera . The tartufo is a fungus that lives underground whose fruit, in the form of a tuber, consists of a fleshy mass and whose color, perfume, and flavor depend on the tree with which it lives symbiotically, principally poplar, lime, oak, and willow.

provincia

The Provincia is the political unit that comes between the Comune and the Regione . There are 110 provinces in Italy, each one containing several comuni . The Provincia has responsibility for public health care, highway maintenance and public buildings such as schools, as well as for agriculture and fisheries. Each provincia has a capoluogo , a capital, and is governed by a Giunta provinciale (provincial government) whose members are chosen from the Consiglio provinciale (provincial council).

di chi è questo giornale?

comune (unità)

The Comune (municipality) is the smallest autonomous political unit. It keeps the registers of births, marriages, and deaths and has the power to raise taxes and to approve public works. The Comune is run by the Giunta comunale (governing group) whose members come from the Consiglio comunale (city council). Both groups report to the Mayor (Sindaco). The Campidoglio (Capitol), one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is the seat of the Comune di Roma , the Rome city council.

palazzo

There are a number of Palazzi in Rome whose names have become synonymous with the political institutions with which they are connected. Palazzo Chigi in Piazza Colonna was built in the 16th century and in 1919 was purchased by the state to be the seat of the Foreign Ministry. Since 1961 it has been the office of the Prime Minister and the place where the cabinet meets. Palazzo Madama was built by the Medici family in the 16th century and has been the seat of the Senate since 1871. Palazzo di Montecitorio has been the home of the Camera dei deputati (the lower house) since 1870. The Palazzo del Viminale , named after one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is the home of the Interior Ministry. The Palazzo del Quirinale , named after one of the famous Seven Hills of Rome, is the official residence of the Presidente della Repubblica .
