Market in Modena
Mercato Albinelli
Mercato Albinelli is Modena’s covered food market, an Art Nouveau building with stalls selling Parmigiano-Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, tortellini, and Lambrusco wine. Free to browse. The market counters serve cheap prepared food. Modena is the birthplace of traditional balsamic vinegar (aged for 12-25+ years, very different from the supermarket version). Budget travelers eat at the market, taste real balsamic, and discover that Modena’s food culture rivals its neighbor Bologna.
