As much as we want to avoid it, we are constantly bombarded with images and words about food. Beautiful, sure, but also redundant and sometimes empty. Capturing true and fake food, perfect or otherwise, good or not good. Does it really feel necessary? Even when the food can speak for itself? Finding the route back to the basics, perhaps that is what we really need. Going around, you won’t find fake images or empty words. Have they not run their course? Initially we chose to scribble out what we are not. Juggling with words. Kneading them to tell a new story. Leaning on the idea that goodness is elementary. Maybe it seems obvious, but it’s not. Never deleting to deny, we scribble out because every product should be heard for what it is. One by one, each scribble is a distinctive sign and together a return to our origins, to the elements. Plain and simple. We want you to choose the words to describe Mercato Centrale Roma. Questions? Here you’ll find artisans answering for all their products.
