Monday is market day in Bergamo center. Generally less expensive than the grocery store, this morning I bought half a kilo of kale, a white onion, a red onion and two carrots for 3.80€.

My husband has an intolerance to milk products so many cheeses are off-limits for him. This pasta vendor always has several selections that are “senza lattosio.” And for those looking to avoid gluten, he has those options too!

In addition to fruits and vegetables and fresh pasta, there is typically honey, cheese, meats and sausages, flowers, natural remedies, a variety of different articles of clothing, mattresses (yes, full size mattresses), candy, kitchen floor mats, table linens.

While Monday is the main market day for Bergamo Center, there are often smaller markets devoted more to art. More in another post about the more crafty markets around town.
