Thousands of tourists arrive, the market opens

Friday 3 May 2024 — 5.16pm

Around 36,000 cruise passengers are expected to arrive in the city on Sunday 5 May. An event that the Modì Natural Shopping Center did not miss out so much so that, to warmly welcome the many tourists, he planned aextraordinary opening of the Provisions Market from 9am to 5pm, both as regards the usual trade and the many related events. “An idea – explains the president of the Ccn Modì Simone Toschi – which must be the future for our commercial area. I understand that working even on Sunday can be annoying for the operators, but if we want to do it

make a good impression on those who come from outside, and therefore also earn something more, we must be ready. And having our facilities found closed is certainly not a nice business card for Livorno. This is where the idea for this initiative came from.” To be open regularly they will be approximately 50 activities, some of which will engage in the sale of take away products to facilitate tourism. While the many scheduled events make the market area even more attractive: throughout the morning, from 11am to 1.30pmLivorno ditties with Fulvio Pacitto, music with the Band of the City of Livorno, shows, Italian songs

typical, with a focus on the Neapolitan ones, and masks from the Labronian tradition that will wander around the stalls among the visitors; in the afternoon music with the cultural association Dj Full Time Riccardo Cioni (aimed at raising funds for an ultrasound machine to be donated to the radiography department) with Giovanni Frau and Vittorio l’Indiano. “An experiment – ​​comments the president of the Mercato delle Vettovaglie consortium Luigi Sena – which must be the evolution of tradition in our markets. Times have changed. It is therefore appropriate to establish additional opening hours. In our structure you can find heart, soul and excellence. I hope that

the initiative is also well received by the people of Livorno”.
