Italy Photo of the Week: Market Day
For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Milan:
This is one of the food stalls from the weekly market which took place on the street right in front of the apartment I lived in for six weeks this past Spring. And while it is, in fact, in Milan, this photograph could be from any number of cities, towns and villages all over Italy. Market day is one of my favorite things about Italy, because not only can you pick up wonderful produce, meats, cheeses, and bread, you can also grab whatever else you might need at home. The market in front of my apartment had stalls devoted entirely to household cleaning products, clothing (one stall sold nothing but underwear), flowers and potted plants - there was even a pet food stall. At home in the U.S. I grumble about doing the grocery shopping. In Italy, it’s something I looked forward to.
Check out my other Italy photos and the other photos of the week!

It’s interesting to see what different produce the different regions feature in their markets, and who has the most “exotic” (imported) goods. Looks like Milan wins this week, since I haven’t seen oranges with leaves, grapes or nuts in quite a while here in Rome.
Lucky Milanese!

This picture was taken back in March, but I do remember that all the fruit vendors seemed particularly proud to be able to display not just mandarins, but Sicilian mandarins! And boy, they were tasty…
