il mercato

First visit to il mercato (campo di fiore) this morning. It's one of many open markets in the city, but one of the more famous. There were about 20 stalls packed with various vegetables, fruits, pastas, nuts and seeds, fish, and a little bit of meat. Around the plaza there are reparto formaggis, butchers, fornos and other specialty shops.  

A fruit vendor: 

sundried tomatoes

pesce!

I came home with fresh arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, radiccio, tallegio, mozzarella, cacciatore and cherries. The vegetable grower threw in a sprig of basil as well.
