Brands Urbani Tartufi

In 1852 Costantino Urbani had an idea: to export fresh truffles to France.

His success soon convinced him to expand to Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

Following in his grandfather's and father's footsteps, Carlo Urbani Senior carried on the business with the irreplaceable help of his wife Olga Senior, becoming the de facto pioneer of truffle farming in Italy.

It is thanks to them that the Urbani Tartufi company was born, organized around the valuable figures of the quarrymen.

Instead, the credit for transforming it into a true mechanized and technologically advanced industry goes to his sons Paolo and Bruno.

The former was awarded the title of Cavaliere del Lavoro for having created an economic reality that has become Italy's flagship in the world.

The second is now at the helm of the Group and a point of reference for new recruits.

With the current Urbani generation, composed of Olga, Carlo and Giammarco, the focus shifts to the development of foreign branches and the birth of initiatives such as the Truffle Museum, the Truffle Academy, Urbani Travel&Tours and the opening to mushroom farming with Urbani Funghi.

In Italy and abroad with 14 locations, 5 brands and 300 professionals.
These are the numbers of the urbani group, which today reaches 70 percent of the world market
