Off to market



In Italy, you can visit an open air market pretty much any day of the week. In Mesagne, market day is Wednesday and even as a little kid, I have always loved to go. Whether it be in the winter and chilly or in the summer and you're sweating by 830am, I will dedicate myself to this tradition and not complain one bit.

At Mesagne's market you can buy anything from shoes and handbags, pots and pans, underwear and tools to fruits, vegetables, cheeses and live chickens, pigeons and turkeys. Pretty random stuff, but you never know when you will feel the urge to buy your 10th pair of inblu flip flops or a little duckling that you will play with for years and then one day find out he was your cousin's dinner the night before. (True story)
