Mercato Centrale (Florence)

It is one of the results from the time of risanamento, the period when Florence was the capital of Italy in the late nineteenth century.

It was designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, an architect who also conceived the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.

In the northern corner of the market, there is a seafood area in which vendors sell fish and shell fish that have been wild caught in Italy or imported.

[2] Outside the Central Market is the Mercato di San Lorenzo, which mostly sells leather goods.
