Sunday morning, stroll through the narrow streets along the canals before heading off to the market.

Wander between the stalls and let yourself be overwhelmed by the good smells and bright colours. Imagine the thousand recipes for pasta, pizza, primi piatti, secondi, risotto, tramezzini, cicetti to be made with all these superb sun vegetables. Let your eyes wander from the delicate courgette flowers to the round pomodori, from the magnificent finocchi with a plump white belly to the marooned borlotti beans to be shelled. A dreamy front for the taste buds and the eyes.

Getting excited by the stalls of sun-drenched chilli peppers and thinking that colours are re-enchanting the world.

Landing at Fantinelli’s and remaining dumbfounded for a while, in front of hundreds of bunches of peppers from the brightest yellow to scarlet red, passing through burgundy red and grenadine red. An explosion for the eyes promises an explosion to come in the mouth.

To be fascinated both by the quantity, by the gradation of colours and by the care that has been put into the realisation of these piccoli peperoncini toupees.

Remembering a walk on the island of San Erasmo, the cradle of agriculture in the lagoon, and thinking that all these beautiful vegetables arrived fresh from the lagoon, by boat this morning, just before reaching the colourful stalls of the Serenissima.
