It's a good day in Gorgonzola when Monday rolls around because the market comes to town. All the fresh fruits and veggies you could ever want are for sale all year long. This is the only place that I've been able to find cilantro...the vendor who sells this never fails to try to make me buy 3 or 4 bunches but I don't need THAT much!
Believe it or not, you can even buy household goods, clothes, plants...you name it. Everyone from the town turns out on the streets for this and its a merry, social occasion.
The streets get cleared from the parked cars that normally occupy this area and traffic is prohibited from passing through. Commerce ranks high on the priority list around here. One euro here, one euro there and soon the money runs out and its time to go home and look forward to the next Monday...
