Italian markets

Italian markets are something so traditional that you can’t live in Italy and enjoy this specific part of any Italian life. You can go everywhere, with any of your friend, and enjoy clothes markets, vintage markets, street food, food market from all around the world…

And this happened to me some weeks ago, when I came across what I thought it was the Xmas market 2014. But I was wrong, anyway, I thought it was too much early for Xmas.

And here we are: I was going towards Santa Croce when I saw so many people, and in 2 minutes I was in front of hundreds of food corners and little shops that were selling any kind of stuff.

What do you think they are?

licorice

licorice, licorice roots and very big black bricks made of this plant.

And going on with food markets full of sausages, porks, strudels, ‘vin chaude’, apple pies and so on…

I was really sad to know it was going to be open just for 2 days,

hence I couldn’t do anything else but buying sweeties and homemade products and weird buiscuits.
