Local Town/Village Markets

[Gustybrae]

Can you please tell me if such a thing happens in Italy? In France the local weekly market is a very popular and well attended attraction with stalls selling everything from fresh produce to local art and crafts goods. If such an event does occur in Italy is there a list published anywhere listing venues,times and days markets are held?
9 weeks to go and counting, really looking forward to our visit.

I have found the answer to my question. Anyone else out there that needs local market information go to

Yep, every single town has their weekly market, the day changes but you'll always find it - with produce, local cheeses and other products as well as clothes and house items, from kitchen accessories to lines and that type of thing. A bit of everything!

The link you posted has a very good comprehensive list although just by looking at a few in Florence there are a few mistakes, most likely it needs to be updated. Days seem right, but take hours as as general guideline (also because they'll vary in summer).

Just a few more weeks, I am sure you'll love Tuscany!
