Every day itinerant market stalls move to various places in the territory: Radda, Castellina, Panzano, Gaiole but the one in Greve is the largest and the most crowded.
Moving from stall to stall in a market gives people the sense of meeting: in a market people walk around in the hope of finding what they look for, but the most important they meet the people at the stalls and the other people from the village or nearby villages and meeting point for friends.
