Message from Valeria

The Mercato del Porcellino is a lively market known for its iconic bronze wild boar statue, the Porcellino. Visitors flock to this spot to rub the boar's snout for good luck and even try their hand at making a wish by dropping a coin in its mouth. The market itself offers a range of souvenirs, from t-shirts to leather goods, making it a popular destination for tourists looking for a piece of Florence to take home with them. Don't forget to check out the "stone of scandal" and soak in the history and charm of this bustling market square.
