The beating heart of this gastronomically inclined city, Mercato Storico Albinelli sells all of Modena’s essential foods: fresh produce, hunks of Parmigiano Reggiano; fresh, exquisite tortellini; fizzy Lambrusco wine; and bottles of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP. You might find Massimo there, haggling for the day’s freshest leeks or chatting up a butcher. For more information, visit www.mercatoalbinelli.it
