The urban context, characterized by significant historical and artistic elements, favors an immersive visitor experience, where the continuity between past and present is manifested in the dynamism of the open-air market. The coexistence of the prestige of the food and wine product and the heterogeneity of the mercantile offer defines the identity of the event.
