Opened in October 2013, the Mercato del Carmine was 
renovated at the initiative of a group of companies that 
wished to revive the historic local market. It was built in the 
Art Nouveau style in 1921. Out of the redesign process, a 
project emerged which remains unique in Italy – the first 
“zero kilometre” market, only stocking regional products 
and fitted out with benches made from wood and slate 
from the region.
The Mercato comprises three different areas: the sh 
section, which is stocked by a consortium of Ligurian 
fishermen, the fruit and vegetable section, and the stalls 
for meat and cheese. Anyone who wishes can have their 
purchases cooked there and then, in the market’s res-
taurant kitchen, enjoy it with a fine wine from the region’s 
vineyards.
