what is the address of the straw market?
Hi Muriel,
The straw market is located at the Corner of Via Porta Rossa and Via Por Santa Maria in Florence. Florentines call this market Il Porcellino (Little Pig) because there is a wild boar fountain located at the market’s south side. Tourists rub the pig’s snout and throw a coin in the fountain to insure a return trip to Florence.
