The Pescia Flower Market

History

The Pescia flower market has really ancient origins, as it all originated in Piazza Grande in front of the Vicar’s Palace. Since 1928 he created the first real market under a roof of reinforced concrete in Piazza grain and since 1950 it moved again in via Amendola inside of a structure for holding the same market.

Since 1988, the new marketing center of Castellare di Pescia has been in operation, which, as desired by the municipal administration, became the permanent venue of the Flower Market, a work costing years of work and a total expenditure of about 30 billion old Lire.
