Il Mercatino della Frutta

Il Mercatino della Frutta, fruit and vegetables on via Roma in Oltre il Colle since 1996: opens at 6 am, hours, phone, summer markets and how to get there.

AddressVia Roma 56
Phone0345 96002

Il Mercatino della Frutta is the fruit and vegetable shop of the main village, on via Roma, in the western part of the centre between the Piazzale degli Alpini and the butcher's. In the council's list of shops it is the only business in the fruit and vegetables category, and the Pro Loco includes it among the grocery shops of the area.

In its advertisement in the Pro Loco's summer 2026 booklet the shop introduces itself in a few words: since 1996, quality fruit and vegetables, the landline 0345 96002 and the address via Roma 56. In March 2020, during the first lockdown, it also appeared in the CompraVicino list of Ascom Confcommercio Bergamo, among the shops that delivered groceries free of charge to anyone who ordered by phone.

It opens very early: according to the survey published on OpenStreetMap in August 2026, at 6 in the morning. The sources disagree on the house number: the council and the shop's advertisement say via Roma 56, OpenStreetMap via Roma 6; the position on the map, a few metres from the «via Roma, 60» bus stop, is in any case on the stretch between the Piazzale degli Alpini and the butcher's.

The shop: thirty years of fruit and vegetables on via Roma

The shop itself gives its starting date, in the 2026 advertisement: since 1996. None of the sources we read describes the range or the suppliers, and the shop has no website or official social media pages that we could read: to find out what is in season, ask at the counter.

It is not the only shop to have sold fruit and vegetables in the village: in 2022 Prima Bergamo, announcing a new ice-cream parlour run by the Bettineschi family, recalled that its premises had for years housed a greengrocer that later closed. In today's council list the Mercatino della Frutta is the only fruit and vegetable shop.

How to get there and where to park

The shop is on the SP27 provincial road, which in the centre is called via Roma. OpenStreetMap shows the «via Roma, 60» bus stop right in front, about 10 metres away as the crow flies; the line B stop with a published timetable is piazza Tiraboschi, about 160 metres away. The bus does not run on Sundays and public holidays.

By car, about 75 metres away as the crow flies OpenStreetMap maps a free car park above via Roma, towards the post office; the Piazzale degli Alpini, with the petrol station, is about 35 metres away.
