The fruit and vegetable market
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MARKET
Goethe had already remarked on it and described it in his “Italian Journey”, when it was already the venue of a picturesque fresh produce market that in time has expanded to include flowers and other local food specialities. Close to its junction with the Portici, once the location of the pillory, stands the Neptune fountain, known among Bolzano citizens as the “Innkeeper with a fork”. Opposite stood the “Al Sole” hotel where Goethe and Herder stayed.
