Among my favorite things to do every week in Umbria is to tour the neighborhood street-markets. You could easily visit a market each day if you chose to, and in truth some mornings there are at least five markets of various sizes running across Umbria. In Italy, markets are likely to alternate from town to township and nearly all bigger towns own their specific market day even if peddlers may well vary. I usually have a propensity to remain near to the markets close to my home, although I do often travel a tad farther to Perugia on Saturdays for the marketplace there.
During Mondays I go to Marsciano, a village of working people including a wide-ranging large marketplace selling heaps of foodstuffs, house linens, and clothes. On Tuesdays I stopover the marketplace in Deruta that is a great deal less important, nevertheless it offers a number of my preferred produce wholesalers. On Thursdays I take a trip in the direction of Ponte San Giovanni, which is a neighborhood near Perugia and has a colossal marketplace that sells almost anything on Earth, including little animals, backyard tools, and numerous street food sellers.
These stand for my three must-know streetmarkets any given week but I furthermore include the immense Saturday market in Perugia. The streetmarket in Perugia could get hours to look through and it's a great excuse to enjoy a calm Saturday morning.
If you take pleasure in cooking, it is impossible not to be moved when you pace throughout an outside market in Umbria. The multitude of bright colors of the numberless goods sold by a variety of retailers, the sublime smells traveling from the roasted hog and fried food truck, and just the bustling energy of the many people moving from stand to stall is simply exciting to me. Italian food is all in relation to using crisp, season ingredients, and I have started the practice of not scheduling my dinner till I look at what strikes as best at the market each day. Whether a pot bursting with small artichokes hits my attention, I sniff a lot of fully matured tomatoes, or else I come across a brimming stall of thick, vivid green fava-beans, I consent to my taste to determine what I'll have at supper every day past my market trip.
