Antica Salumeria Albertini, Verona

Antica Salumeria Albertini stands as a classic yet captivating food market. Within its walls, you'll discover an array of Italian delicacies, ranging from savory cured hams to meticulously crafted handmade pastas, regional cheeses, extra-virgin olive oil, and a diverse selection of local wines. The ethos of Salumeria lies in fostering a robust and wholesome community, evident in its extensive offering of organic and natural foods. Enthusiasts of fine cuisine have the opportunity to indulge in sampling the latest culinary offerings each day.

What truly sets this establishment apart is its striking facade. The Art-Nouveau storefront, originating from the 1930s, captures immediate attention. Comprising a triple frame of painted metal, shielded by foldable shutters, it is adorned with an exquisite grey plate sign topped by an ornate scroll design. At the heart of this sign, a fan of stylized flowers takes center stage, drawing focus to the entrance while breaking the flow of the prominent red-lettered inscription. A metal roof with blended, notched edges safeguards the entirety of this architectural gem.

Inside, the interior fixtures are relatively more modern compared to the display, having been replaced with white marble shelves that succeeded the original ones dating back to the early 20th Century. As the years have passed, multiple generations have overseen the shop's operations, leading to Alimentari Salumeria Albertini earning a place in the Botteghe Storiche registry for its enduring quality and long-standing tradition.
