I had the luck of wandering into this market on a Saturday morning around 9:30am a few weeks ago…read more Unbeknownst to me this market (both farmers market and street vendor clothing/home wares/accessories/decor portion) is only open Saturdays and Tuesdays from 8am to afternoon. The farmers market part is located in Sant Agostino piazza and all the vendors have stands set up. On the outskirts of the piazza are the butchers and cheesemongers, at the center are the fresh produce, dried and preserved goods and a couple florists. The produce all looked very fresh and beautiful. If I had the opportunity to cook in Milan this market looks to be a terrific resource. In April strawberries, artichokes, asparagus, a certain wrinkly variety of tomatoes, and a small cantaloupe-like melon were in season. Most vendors take cards in addition to cash. The non-food portion of the market runs along a long strip of land btwn the two directions of the Viale Papiniano road. Vendors set up along both sides and there's a fairly narrow corridor running in the middle for customers to walk down. These are mostly clothing and home goods vendors, with a smattering of shoes and accessories, electronics, toys, beauty products, casual jewelry, etc. Almost all products fall into the affordable, priced-for-the-masses category so don't come expecting anything fancy, though it could be an interesting experience digging for some cheap, unique finds.
