Mercato Centrale Torino (Torino Central Market), Turin
There has been a market at Palace Gate (Porta Palazzo) since 1835. The new Torino Central Market (Mercato Centrale Torino) was constructed in 2011 and renovated in 2019. This unique market is based on formats launched in Florence in 2014 and 2016 in Rome. The 200-year-old social life of the outdoor market, mixing cultures, flavors, colors, and traditions, is enlarged.
The modernistic market building, with the glass and steel facade, was designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas in 2005. Inside, in what was once the Palatine Center (Centro Palatino ), is a cultural and gastronomic adventure involving gourmet foods and wines. The aim is to strengthen the relationship between producers and consumers.
Several artisan food shops have been opened within the market. Restaurants well-known in the city are represented. Mare Nostrum serves fish. Alberto Marchetti is there with ice cream. Farmacia del Cambio has reservable tables. Visitors can enjoy street foods such as Sicilian Specialties. In the center is a brewery/cafeteria. Valerio Lo Russo has more fish.
The second floor has clothing shops and a cooking school. "The Distillery" is a trendy lounge bar with floor-to-ceiling windows giving the best views of the square. The third floor is a space for events and shows. In the basement are the 18th-century ice-storage rooms.
Palace Gate (Porta Palazzo) has become a zone where colors, aromas, cultures, and traditions mix, creating a "melting pot" of human energy.
