We came across it by chance one morning and went inside simply to have a look.
We later returned but only to make small purchases, a sandwich, a coffee.
It is among the oldest neighborhood markets in Rome. It has a rich history which is reflected in its rather unique structure, designed by Elena Luzzato, Italy's first female architect, and built by Augusto D'Arcangeli in 1926.
This building features beautiful vertical windows with wrought iron frames that diffuse natural light throughout the interior. It's pretty clean as well. There are grocery stalls, fruit and vegetable shops, butchers, fishmongers, florists, household goods, pet shops, even a coffee shop and a herbalist's shop.
The feature that struck us the most was undoubtedly the area in the centre, which is well furnished and comfortable. Inside there are tables and brnches where you can eat or stop for a break.
It offers many street food options, also offering a wide range of delicatessen, breads, cakes, cured meats and sandwches.
If we are in the area, we always manage to visit it in order to buy something that we are missing.
It's a real experience, an attraction too, because you understand how locals live and what they buy.
