San Miniato: The Cathedral and the truffle festival main tent.

The main tent at the San Miniato truffle fair is set in front of the Pisan Romanesque facade of the duomo, or cathedral. There is an interesting sacred art museum inside called "Museo Diocansano d'Arte Sacra."

But what we've come to see are white truffles, and the tent in front of the duomo is full of them. The smell is intense and sexy. It can overwhelm you. Next, we'll peek inside.
