Markets Piedmont

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.

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.

Asti has had a great commercial tradition since the Middle Ages. The large market is spread over three squares, and even if you don't want to buy anything, wandering among the early produce of the local growers and between the stalls of cheap clothes remains a fun occupation. There are 47 grower stalls and around 60 food stalls, not to mention the many non-food stalls (around 250!). The daily market can be found in piazza Catena or in the 1925 covered market in piazza Libertà.

Eataly's traditional format meets Caffè Vergnano. Here, you can find the very best of gastronomy in a large food market, choose from thousands of products and references of the finest Italian wines, and sample seasonal menus made with fresh regional produce. And, of course, stop off for an espresso or to try out the new specialties at Caffè Vergnano. On sunny days, take advantage of the outdoor area on the pedestrian street. Eataly enjoys a privileged position in the heart of Turin, surrounded by the most beautiful Baroque palaces.
