Mercato Centrale, Food market hall in Florence, Italy
The iron and glass structure of Mercato Centrale houses multiple food vendors across two floors in the San Lorenzo district of Florence.
Architect Giuseppe Mengoni designed this market hall in 1874, applying similar architectural principles as in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
Local artisans prepare traditional Tuscan specialties, from fresh pasta and bread to meat and fish, maintaining regional culinary techniques.
The ground floor market operates from 7 AM to 3 PM on weekdays and until 5 PM on Saturdays, offering fresh produce and local ingredients.
The cooking school Lorenzo de' Medici operates within the market, teaching visitors the methods of preparing authentic Florentine dishes.
