On my last morning in Rome, I had the pleasure of visiting a popular local market, Mercato di Testaccio. Situated in the residential Testaccio area, old little Italian ladies and men shopped for fresh meats and produce while some browsed the sparse shoe and clothing vendors. It was so much fun getting a peek in the daily life of a Roman and seeing how nice the vendors all were!! Most of them didn't speak a lick of English so I just smiled and nodded while observing the scene.
P.S. I also found the zucchini stuffed with minced meat that I ate at Maccheroni. Must be a popular dish! *Pat on back*
