The “Mercato delle erbe”, literally “Market of herbs”, is the largest covered market in the historical center of Bologna, since 1910. It was built to offer shelter to the merchants that could no longer stay in Piazza Maggiore (the most renowned square in the city).
Since 2014, in addition to the presence of merchants that sell typical products or food, after renovation of some spaces in the market, there are inside the building also restaurants, bars, pizza restaurants and sandwich shops. In the “Mercato delle erbe” you can touch the historical gastronomical culture of Bologna. I’ve chosen this place mainly to highlight how similar reality nowadays must increasingly deal with supermarket and commercial center perhaps more comfortable but less related to the context and the history of the site.
