The Mestre Urban Shopping District is the result of extensive analysis, consultation, and collaboration between the parties, based on Regional Law 50 of 2012, which defines "shopping districts" as "areas of municipal or intermunicipal relevance in which citizens and businesses, freely gathered, consider commerce as a factor for innovation, integration, and valorization of all the resources available to the area, in order to increase the attractiveness and sustain the competitiveness of its commercial centers." The Mestre Shopping District comprises 770 businesses.

The Mercato dei Portici on Via Palazzo was founded in 2015 by resident and merchant Elisabetta Bobbo.

Thanks to the event's commitment and continuity, which has grown and expanded over time, it has revitalized a central and distinctive area of ​​Mestre, which had suffered significant business closures due to the economic crisis.

The event always takes place over three days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is distinguished by hosting in the street a selection of ingenious operators, so-called makers designers, who create original and unique objects with their own hands.
