The Albinelli Market

Modena

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Albinelli Market, located in the heart of Modena's historic centre, is an extraordinary example of how tradition and renewal can come together to create something remarkable. Inaugurated on 28 October 1931, the market was designed with particular attention to sanitarian aspects, an innovative feature for the time, with marble stalls for fishmongers and a running water supply at each stall. At the centre of the building stands a beautiful fountain entitled The Maiden with a Basket of Fruit. The Albinelli Market is a lively and fascinating place where visitors can immerse themselves in the authenticity of local products. A wide range of fresh goods, carefully selected by the traders, are available here. The market’s charming historical architecture is now complemented by a modern gastronomic offering, thanks to the recent addition of restaurants within the structure.

THIS PLACE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE

The Albinelli Market has been recognised as a monument of national historic interest because it has embodied the city’s culinary and social traditions for nearly a century. Its role as a dynamic hub for the Modenese community is essential, offering not only fresh products but also serving as a vital meeting point for citizens.
