Il mercato all'aperto

It's early Thursday morning. People are at work in Piazza Duomo and the surrounding streets setting up their stands and tents to display a huge variety of fares and wares. The market is open. Soon the streets fill up with people, some looking for fresh food and produce, others for bargains and deals, and some just out for a walk to enjoy and observe. Rain or shine, hot or cold, this is the scene every Thursday in Trento.

The streets come alive with shoppers and merchants - la rosticceria - roast chicken, skewered meats and patatine fritte - il fruttivendolo - fresh fruits, vegetables and honey - la pescheria - fish and shellfish, and after all that, there's clothing and cookware, flowers and plants, and shoes and leather goods, too. Whatever your needs, there's something for you at the Thursday market.
