Summary/Abstract: When I went there for the very first time I was already working for “Arta public?”, I had a job, but she said, “Godmother – ‘cause she’s Silvia’s godmother; one of them anyway – come with us to the market”. And there was a devilish Gypsy woman and a drunkard sleeping there in a room they had given her. They cooked there and everything, you know, all in that room? There were rats there. Well, in the end the manager invested in the place, modernized it and had tiles put on the walls and floors, it was the most beautiful market at the time, a real place of luxury. The first private market in the whole country it was.
