Markets in Lazio

Markets can give you a true experience of Italian day-to-day life. Farmers, cheese makers, olive oil producers, and fishermen all join together in the daily markets across the region. Locals like to come to the weekly local market to taste, smile, haggle, and socialize. The abundant sunshine ensures rich tastes in the fruits and vegetables. Take your time (but do not go too late as the best things sell out first) and enjoy the intense colors and flavors!
