Florence - Mercato Centrale
Florentina was established in Roman times as a settlement for veteran soldiers. The name had changed already when young Charlemagne conquered the town in 774. It became part of the Duchy of Tuscany, with Lucca as the capital. Around 1000 Margrave Hugo chose Florence as residency instead of Lucca. After the death of Matilda of Tuscany (1115), the Florentines formed a republic ruled by a council. The town prospered, despite a constant fight between the different factions and noble families.
In the 15th century, Florence was among the largest and wealthiest cities in Europe. This was when the Medici family entered the political scene. As a dynasty of art-loving, power-hungry bankers, they made Florence the birthplace of the Renaissance.
Architect Giuseppe Mengoni was commissioned to build the structure of the market, taking inspiration from the Parisian halls. The result was remarkable, with the integration of the most modern materials (iron, glass, cast iron) with the appearance of the pre-existing buildings. The inauguration took place in 1874.
"Bronzin Alimentari" has a nice stand in the hall. Here you can buy cold cuts, cheese, cured meats, truffles, wine and oil.
