A large banner on the traffic circle is the only indication that there is a real rummage paradise at the end of the frighteningly narrow and steep road: Fogola Casalinghi. On an estimated 300 square meters, you can find everything from a jelly roll to a fine Parma ham slicer with B… – you know which one I am talking about – really EVERYTHING for the kitchen. And owner Guiseppe knows every single product: The only Parmesan cheese grater that really works? Guiseppe has it and can explain it. Storage containers for bread or cheese? Guiseppe knows where the bread won’t dry out.

And you want some new furniture for the balcony?
No problem, Guiseppe grabs a large key and accompanies us to the neighboring building.
Here you’ll find several hundred square meters of solid, fairly priced tables, chairs, loungers and parasols.

I have a huge crush on the cute jars with the little figures inside.
