Here's one of our friendly neighborhood markets.
This is where we shop for fresh bread and produce. The owners are very helpful, providing us with
pane integrale (whole grain bread). There are no "supermarkets" or other large vendors in Assisi. Thankfully, there are no places to put them and very few parking places. The friendliness and neighborliness of small shops, cafes and "minimarkets" offer a real sense of community. Hmmm, maybe today's urban planners could learn a few things from their 12th Century counterparts.
