Nuovi foodscapes e turistificazione. I mercati storici come “frontiere di “gentrification”?

The article explores the emergence of new landscapes and food consumption practices that are grafted onto a historically stratified socio-economic fabric, such as that of historic markets in Mediterranean cities, modifying their uses and perceptions. Positioned from a theoretical-methodological point of view in the frame of food / retail gentrification, the article analyzes the changes taking place in the historical fish market of Catania to evaluate to what extent the new consumption landscapes may be considered as the result of a process in between among foodification and touristification.
