Market lovers - Gianni's roses
How do you become a floriculturist, how do you convert a farm into a temple for roses, how do you fight the uncertainty of weather, pests, unbridled online buying, and static roses?
Circo Massimo Farmers Market
It used to be the Jewish fish market. In Medieval times, Tevere river and the river port of Ripa Grande used to welcome the boats landing from Ostia. Originally, fish waste (fish bones, heads) or ‘poor quality’ fish were put to good use for one of the historical recipes of the ‘Ghetto’: the Roman fish broth. To recall ancient times, the new market opened in 2009 hosts a fish stall, actually a real fishmonger selling very fresh fish.
Flowers and ornamental plants market
The flower market from the headquarters in via Andrea Doria has been moved to the temporary headquarters of the Centro Carni in via Palmiro Togliatti 1280. The opening to the public has also been modified: now non-florist buyers can go on Saturdays from 8.30 to 11.00.
