Morning its an actual produce market with locals buying vegetables. Prices are reasonable and vendors will let you taste stuff. The whole piazza smells like fresh herbs and flowers

By 4pm the market stalls disappear and it transforms into tourist restaurant hell. Same square but completely different energy. Those restaurants charging €18 for pasta arent even using the morning markets ingredients lol

The morning market is legit useful if youre staying nearby - decent prices compared to the tourist markup you get everywhere else around major sites. Just dont expect it to be romantic or instagram worthy — Its a working market with lots of shouting and wet floors

Made this account to share this observation and somehow became a regular poster oops
