This 19th century covered market was inspired by a rather older counterpart – the 16th century Mercato Vecchio. That one was demolished so that the Piazza della Repubblica could be made. Giuseppe Mengoni, who designed this hall, based it on the now demolished Les Halles in Paris. Vendors are usually selling various goods outside – leather, fabrics, souvenirs and so on. Inside though, you get a delicious spread of meats, cheeses, breads, confections, chocolates, pasta, wines, fish, vegetables and fruits and flowers – it’s a veritable Cornucopia. You also get various local snacks such as the lampredotto and budelline.
There are over 500 places where you can sit down; People-watching here is worth it!
