Esquilino (ex Piazza Vittorio) new market
It was one of the most beautiful markets in the city, with stalls organised by type around the outdoor plaza, well known for its focus on good value and guaranteed enthusiastic market banter!
For more than 100 years, it has provided cheese, meat, fruit, vegetables and flowers to the whole Esquilino borough. Built at the end of ‘800 not far from Termini station, it used to be a very busy place and later, following a first renovation in 1913, the market continued to flourish throughout the Fascist time, surviving the war and the black market that was taking place under the arcades of the square.
Città dell'Altra Economia Biomarket
Now that the farmers’ market has moved to Passino road, the bio producers (certified) are the only ones remaining in the open area just in front of ‘Alternative Economy City’ at the former slaughter house at Testaccio, together with a number of craftsmen, selling their creations on week-ends.
Campo de' Fiori market
It’s one of the oldest markets in town, if not the oldest, considering that in 1869 already Campo de’ Fiori was the preferred destination of a group of ‘farming ladies’ coming every day from the countryside to sell their herbs and vegetables, often just sitting and cleaning them in the square.
