Shopping in Matera

Shopping in Matera doesn’t deceive: from the shopping centre to haute couture boutiques you’ll find the best that the market has to offer. But if you’re looking for the typical production you’ll have to go in the workshops, where you’ll have the possibility to bring home with you a little piece of Matera’s tradition. If you prefer foodstuffs you can buy salami, meat and cheese, and good wine too. The workshops has a large production of paper pulp, wrought iron, earthenware and tuff.
We want to recommend you two markets: the “exchange market” (it take place every second week end of every month in Piazza Vittorio Veneto) where you can find antique objects, local artworks, bijoux and laces; and the merchandise market (in Rione San Giacomo) where every Saturday tourists and city dwellers can buy gastronomical products, artworks and dresses surrounded by a bright atmosphere.
