The Mercato delle Erbe is the largest covered market in the historic center of Bologna, where you can find fruit and vegetables, meat, cheese, cured meats, wines, fish and more. In 2014, the market was renewed, dedicating space to catering. Since the beginning of the century the market for herbs had been held in Piazza de' Marchi next to the church of San Francesco. In 1910, when the Municipality needed that space, the current covered market was built at the end of via Ugo Bassi. 
The Mercato delle Erbe in Bologna, in its current form, was designed in 1910 by Arturo Carpi and Luigi Mellucci. 
Reopened in 1949, after the heavy bombings during the Second World War, the Mercato delle Erbe changed its appearance, adapting to the surrounding area, which was in turn rebuilt.
The main entrance, from via S. Gervasio is placed in Ugo Bassi, together with the statue of the same name. After the renovation in 2014, the Market combines the traditional stalls and shops with restaurants, wine bars and meeting points, frequented by thousands of people, including tourists.
