with various stalls selling fruit, vegetables, meat, fish,

e Via Ippolito Nievo

here you can find everything from shoes, dresses, bags,
suitcases, camping equipment, bed linen, towels, pots and
pans, kitchen utensils, plants, pets, car accessories, cassetes
and CDs and old LPs.
Is situated near the Lion A subway
stop Flaminia, and it open on Sunday from 10.00 to 18.00.
It is a very unusual market where private vendors sell clothes
and other various items. With time it has become a well
attended "sitting room" where members of roman
"society" love to meet up and snap up bargains.
