Markets Italy

Eating and shopping is the winning concept of the culinary chain, which opened its first store in Turin, in the former Carpano vermouth factory. Truffles, chocolate, barolo, oil, wine, bread... the best of regional gourmet products, often in season, can be found here on more than 11,000^m2. You can taste tasty menus on the spot, without forgetting to visit the wine cellar - with more than 35,000 bottles, it is the largest in the city - and the museum upstairs. Workshops, seminars and activities are also organized.

Buy the very best in Italian gastronomy, take part in a cooking class, taste a dish of Gragnano "al dente" pasta or Piedmontese meat from La Granda: this temple to gastronomy is now well known and recognized, offering a selection of the very best regional Italian products. In the historic Teatro Smeraldo building, Eataly Milano occupies over 5,000 m² with its restaurants and shows (on Fridays at 7 p.m., a stand-up show and aperitif). An address for gourmets and lovers of good food.

This is Rome's largest food market, located in the cosmopolitan Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, next to Termini. It used to be held in the piazza itself, but was moved to allow the square to undergo a facelift. In a cheerful, colorful atmosphere, the stalls overflow with spices from all over the world. All around, Indian grocery stores and Asian restaurants. Don't miss the fish market. A unique atmosphere and a privileged place in Rome to stock up on exotic produce!

This market starts via Sant'Agostini with stalls of cheap clothes (from Asia), continues via Cappuccinelle with fabrics and products for the home, and ends at Porta Carini with stalls of fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat and fresh food products. It is cheaper than the very authentic Vucciria. It is the ideal place to taste the famous arancini, potato fritters, chickpeas, and other local or... Asian specialties in front of small dedicated stands.

Small traditional food market. For the record, its name comes from the French word "boucherie"! Beyond the rustic meat stalls and meaty sandwiches that you can devour on the go, you can actually find everything: fish (you can come face to face with a huge swordfish ready to be cut up), fruit, vegetables and clothes. Junk is also present in the little alleys around Piazza Carraciolo. High in colour, noise and smell, it closes its doors at nightfall.

Let yourself be guided by the voices of the fish sellers at the Ballaro market to discover the scents and colours. It's hardly exaggerated if you consider the trunk of the Palermitans who are lustful in these popular little streets. Half tourist, half local, this market is surprising. It is here that you will find the best pistachios, dried tomatoes, olives, the tastiest cheeses of the island... To pick up on the spot: octopus, rolls with sardines. You will also see a variety of local zucchini that is up to 1 meter long!

Tuscany has probably found its culinary ambassador with Eataly, from extra virgin olive oils to Chianina meats, breads, fresh pasta and local vegetables to the best drinks. Different thematic tables are available to enjoy yourself and discover the establishment. The pizzeria is a great success! Early risers meet at the bar-panetteria, which opens at 7:30 am for a generous breakfast with cappuccino, brioches and hot breads from the wood oven.

A reference to Rome, the market takes place around the statue of Giordano Bruno, a philosopher monk burned there during the Inquisition, to whom the Italian power of 1870 wanted to pay tribute, as a challenge to the papacy. There are fruits and vegetables, fish, cheeses, delicatessen, flowers, as well as all Roman and Italian specialities. Admittedly, it is not the most typical market in the city as there are so many products intended for tourists, but its visit is pleasant.

The market takes place on Wednesday morning from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. in the city center.

Porta Palazzo is one of the oldest markets in Europe, as you can hear the merchants' voices in the streets since 1825. In the 1980s, Arab, Chinese and African immigration brought an exotic touch to traditional stalls. Thus, alongside the sellers of fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, merchants of spices, fabrics and cheap clothes gradually set up shop, but not without charm. A stroll is highly recommended, just to contemplate the cheeses of the Piedmontese Alps, the butcher's and fishmonger's halls.

The city's oldest flea market, where you can find everything. Hardware, vintage clothes, bicycles (people used to come here to find stolen bikes in Milan), postcards and old paintings are on display every Saturday at the far end of the Navigli district, in a colorful and friendly spirit. Much sought-after by music lovers: the vinyl record dealer, where rare gems of all genres can be found. A hundred or so stalls for original and extravagant souvenirs. A young, bohemian atmosphere.
