In Italian an “ortolano” may be a greengrocer selling vegetables or a market-gardener who grew them. “Le ortolane” is the female plural form of the above and the name of a shop in “Corso Mazzini”.
A bit of wordplay in this fruits and vegetable shop sign. If you spell the writing “Me la mangio” it would be I eat her, which is not necessarily an anthropophagous statement in Italian, because everything has a gender and apples, along with many other fruits, are female. Otherwise “Mela mangio” is literally (I) apple eat, which it is not correct but may even works for a kid or a very hungry tourist.
