1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:12,060 In Trento, in his hamlets and in the nearby places, you can find our street markets just one day per week, but if you need to go there, you have to move to another city. 2 00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:16,500 In fact, each town has got its own timetable. 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:24,679 Here in Trento, stores are found on Thursday from 7.15 a.m. to 2 p.m. 4 00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:33,140 If you want to go to the markets in the city center, you have to leave your car or you have to take the bus, 5 00:00:33,539 --> 00:00:37,659 because you can only arrive at the markets by walking or by bike. 6 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,179 We have beautiful buildings in our city center, such as Piazza Fiero and the Cathedral, 7 00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:48,859 and people are able to see them only as a tourist normally does. 8 00:00:53,399 --> 00:01:04,200 Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, only the food stalls, the clothing ones and the flower ones are allowed to take place on the streets or in the squares. 9 00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:11,980 Normally, they used to be with clothes, souvenirs, accessories, tablecloths and so on. 10 00:01:12,379 --> 00:01:20,319 One thing that remains also during the pandemic is that street markets can just stand in restricted traffic zones. 11 00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:28,019 The most famous markets in the nearby are in Levico, Pergine and Trento. 12 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,219 Even if they are not big cities, they have fantastic markets with lots of stalls and beautiful stuff. 13 00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:43,000 In this presentation, we will talk about the products sold in the Trento's local market. 14 00:01:43,299 --> 00:01:52,200 The weekly market takes place every Thursday in the city center from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. 15 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,980 In this market there are sold clothes, fruits and vegetables and there are poultry sellers. 16 00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:15,520 The Farmers Market takes place in Dante Square and the products offered are zootechnical productions, fruits and vegetables, fresh vegetables and biological products. 17 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,879 The Solidarity Economy Market takes place in Santa Maria Maggiore Square. 18 00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:28,879 Exhibitors belonging to the Trentino Solidarity Economy participate on a regular basis. 19 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:39,560 The products present range from organic food to organic clothing, from social cooperation products to organic products from the hive. 20 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,560 Christmas markets usually open on November 21 and end on January 6. 21 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,560 The lights illuminate the main streets of the centre. Every house in the city can become a light point to illuminate Trento. 22 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,560 In Piazza Duomo all the towers are illuminated, accompanied by some music. 23 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:07,560 The Christmas markets are mainly located in Piazza Fiera. Sellers sell typical products, self-produced, and artisans sell handicrafts, such as Christmas baubles or nativity characters. 24 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:21,560 In the markets of Trento you can sell many things, including for example typical things of the territory, for example sweets, sucas, straben, or even savory foods, for example typical sandwiches. 25 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:29,560 tourists come from all over italy to see the markets the food stores are the ones that sells 26 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:37,960 the most because they sell typical christmas food from trentino and tourists are excited to taste it 27 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:45,400 the markets are a really important thing for the craftsmen because they take many profits with them 28 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,879 since the tourists come and buy things from our markets. Buying from markets it's also a really 29 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:58,280 creative and original way to collect interesting and original souvenirs. Now we are going to talk 30 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,520 about the markets with covid. The Thursday market in Trento is open with the rules to avoid contagion. 31 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:11,000 People may only wait in front of a stall a few at a time keeping their distance. The use of a mask 32 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,759 is always compulsory and congregations must be avoided to ensure that these rules are respected 33 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:26,199 there are many police officers monitoring the situation the 27th edition of christmas market 34 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:34,839 which was scheduled to start on the 21st of november as decided by the mayor franco yanezali 35 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:43,139 has not taken place. It is clear that the risk of contagion from the inevitable crowds 36 00:04:43,139 --> 00:04:49,019 would have been too high, given the number of visitors who normally visit the little houses 37 00:04:49,019 --> 00:04:56,379 in Trento from the end of November to the beginning of January. Then there is the general 38 00:04:56,379 --> 00:05:02,860 situation with the increasing contagions all over Italy. It is therefore also out of a sense 39 00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:08,199 of responsibility that the municipal council has decided to freeze everything one month 40 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:11,459 before the opening. 41 00:05:11,459 --> 00:05:16,420 Our city at the time was called Tridentum, so called because near Trento there are three 42 00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:23,000 hills resembling three teeth. Trento was conquered by the Romans, so under the current city we 43 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,240 still find the remains of the Roman city, which sometimes prevent us from going on with 44 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,579 our normal habits because archaeologists must have time to scrape, recover the finds and 45 00:05:35,579 --> 00:05:41,540 take them to the museum. In fact, in this period the markets were stopped because Roman 46 00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:47,740 remains were found. This gives the opportunity to know more about the origins of our city. 47 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:55,839 The market takes place each Thursday at Esterle Street, near Trento's Cathedral. A project 48 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,980 for building an underground parking lot started in 2018 has moved the typical market to Venezia 49 00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:05,899 Street in the city center. The work for its construction should have last ten 50 00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:10,279 months but some impressive discoveries delayed them by another five. At seven 51 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,639 meters under our feet archaeologists have found five Roman 52 00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:18,560 burials, each grave contained up to four people. The slabs were perfectly conserved 53 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,779 and it was still possible to read names and sentences carved in the stone. This 54 00:06:23,779 --> 00:06:27,620 wasn't the first time though, thanks to the recent discoveries on the 55 00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:33,560 the exhibition's occasion for the construction of an underground garage, the archaeologist 56 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,519 unearthed further remains of the Roman age. Some monumental slabs dating back to the Roman 57 00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:45,300 times emerged from a gravel deposit placed at the bottom of a trench, in a disconnected 58 00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:51,740 way from a good point of view. The investigation made it possible to recognize, under a powerful 59 00:06:51,740 --> 00:06:58,860 sequence of fluids, a symmetry area dating back to the 4th century AD.
