Angelo Garro is a fifty eight year old Italian man with brown eyes who teaches Pollan about how to hunt, and how to prepare the meat that is hunted. Garro is passionate about food, particularly foods that remind him of Italy. Garro takes Pollan on several hunts for wild boar, and helps him clean and process the boar he does shoot. Garro, Pollan notes, is his Virgil, in that it is Garro that explains to Pollan the thrill of hunting one's own food, and it is Garro that really helps Pollan to create his final meal, which is completely hunted or gathered.
