We spent a lot of time in and around this area, drawn to the shops and vendors and stalls and markets. It felt a lot like every other tourist-driven open-air market, except that the focus was heavily on genuine leather and the vendors spoke Italian.
Still, we couldn't stop ourselves from coming back to this market and the shops around it every day we were in the city. We stopped in stalls, we browsed the wares, we walked by the pig (we never stopped there, though, the crowds were insane and there were way too many people rubbing up on the snoot for me to be like, "yeah, I want to touch that, too!")
My husband did eventually end up buying a backpack from one of the stalls, and I grabbed some small and reasonably-priced wallets to bring home as gifts for friends and colleagues. If you're shopping for souvenirs or looking for things to bring back as gifts, you'll likely have no trouble finding what you need here.
