Market Square... - Secret World

Piazza del Mercato Centrale, 50123 Firenze FI, Italia

by Rossella Do Pinto

Over time, the square has remained almost unchanged, even if it does not lack a touch of modernity. Today, the old "pizzicagnoli" and the butchers have been joined by the so-called "Salaioli" with outdoor tables. These are not real restaurants, but a kind of store with typical local food products (cheeses, cold cuts, wines) that is also a bistro and bar. Note also the well of Leoncino in the center of the square and the houses around it, all dating back to the early medieval period.
