Local Life
Piazza delle Vettovaglie
This atmospheric
piazza
hosts a bustling fresh-produce market during the day, but is even busier at night, when
patrons (including many of the undergraduate cohort at the city's elite universities) spill out of its many bars,
cafes and restaurants to party under the 15th-century porticoes.
