After a quick breakfast (no bacon this time) it was time to visit Mercado Centrale and do some shopping.

This is a big hall with plenty of shops with most food items that you may want. Fish, meat, some frutti di mare, cheese, cookies, wine, vinegar, etc. Of course it can be, and it will be crowded.










The prices are rather fair, slightly higher than in shops, but slightly. The big advantage of this place is that you can get a lot of information about the products, and some tasting to get what exactly want. I had the pleasure to taste the whole range of kinds of vinegar, and some nice, matured Parmigiano. Of course, purchases were made to get the good things home, for myself, and my friends.






You can have your cheese vacuum-pack for 50 Cents, and if you are HBO, most of the places offer shipping worldwide. Now, back to the apartment to leave the items. The next point of the day will be lunch at EATALY (guess what, quick lunch, as I was delayed, like always on this trip ) and then the first vineyard trip.
