In my neighborhood there was a MARKET

Lost “M” Where I’ll go to shop?

Art or Food?

When I was a boy

I was used to buy

here: bread , milk,

eggs, cheese,

(paper) notebook

(walking distance!) Pleasant near park

Public owned service Typical elder

resident, no car

A few months ago: The last days

One of the last shops

Poor lightening, smell of old

It was the Economic Downturn & Competition

from Larger Malls…

Dust, empty

shelves,

Closed doors

Amarcord = memory of the past Smell of

fresh bread: “MICHETTA”

Milk tetrapack like LEGO…

Hill of the green park near the QT8 market…

Core values: 1) You could walk there to shop and meet other people 2) Shopkeepers talked to you, some where friends, too

QT8 market!

What’s happened a few monts ago

A public competition by the City Council for: a SMART Market… … the Outcome

The first short supply chain market

An entrepreneur is betting on it… … and a local neighborhood committee was involved, too!

Translation: We can plan togheter the new local Market

Let’s Dream

Slow Food & Coldiretti Farmers’ markets

1. Farmers not sellers: meet who made it, learn how

2. You can see, smell, TASTE it 3. Lost flavors, traditional food

re-discovery, healthy 4. You ARE what you EAT

A TERRIFIC vision for an organic,

sustainable, QT8 MARKET that it is

also a cultural & human friendly space

Think about: Also Grom and eatitaly started small !

New QT8 MARKET rendering

But meanwhile? A temporary Food & Craft Market in the parking lot !

Ciclofficina: Get your Byke repaired

QT8 temporary Farmer Market

Doesn’t look better even in autumn?

From Past WoW !

To NOW

What’s about Organic Food @ your home + eco-delivery by bike ?

The Farmer’s box home delivery

What also? Sustainable E-commerce and social networking to re-design shopping

Think Global

Act Local

Share passion for sustainability

Build a network

Find where to buy

Green Procurement

You know: the on-line marketplace is “CUSTOMER CENTRIC” – ex.: Amazon

Empowered

customer Radical Transparency

In US only, when in Europe, too?
