Tricase has a town market every Tuesday which sells everything from underwear to fruits and vegetables. It is a nice example of life in an Italian town - very social and very traditional. The market is set up on about two square blocks of streets on the southwest side of town. When I was a kid, this same market was held in the historic center of the city.
We all had different interests in things to explore at the market. Juliana bought sunglasses, Kathleen bought shoes (four pairs), Maria bought a small red snakeskin purse, Joseph a musical toy Smart Car, and Marco a new wallet. My father bought seeds for next years garden - tomatoes, basil, chickory, and arugula. I bought a wheel of hard cheese, provolone cheese, hard salami, capers,and two bags of olives - all items that I love and are impossible to buy in China. Margie helped Kathleen pick out shoes but didn't seem to buy anything for herself. Don also didn't buy anything and was focused primarily on finding vendors with free shade. It was really hot in the sun.
