Things of bygone days!
For over forty years, the Antiques Market of Piazzola sul Brenta has offered a journey into the past.
A Step Back in Time
At the Antiques Market: every last Sunday of the month, Piazzola sul Brenta is transformed into an authentic paradise for lovers of antiques, attracting tourists and locals for a unique experience. The Antiques Market in Piazzola sul Brenta is one of the most spectacular in Europe, with its scenographic setting combines vibrant colours and authentic flavours, creating a particularly evocative atmosphere.
An Event Not to be Missed
On the last Sunday of every month, the villa's square, the surrounding streets, and the former Camerini Jute Mill host a multitude of exhibitors. Here you will find interesting objects and unique collectibles, including antiques, various objects, militaria, and fine furniture. The market continues even during holidays: if the last Sunday coincides with Easter or Christmas, it is postponed to the following Monday (Easter Monday or St Stephen's Day).
The Ritual of the Market
The Antiques Market is famous not only for the wide range of items on sale, but also for its lively atmosphere. The square and the streets of the centre are filled with people from all over Italy and Europe, looking for unmissable bargains. Here, visitors can discuss, negotiate and hunt for a bargain, in a dynamic recalling the traditional ritual of the marketplace. Every object, however ordinary it may seem to one person, might be a rare treasure to someone else. You can find antique and valuable items that belonged to dukes, marquesses and members of the nobility, and you'll have the chance to take home a piece of history.
An Experience to Enjoy
The streets of the centre of Piazzola are closed to traffic for the occasion, creating a space dedicated to stalls and visitors. The arcades near the splendid Villa Contarini are also occupied by vendors, transforming the entire area into a huge open-air market. The event is worth visiting not only for lovers of antiques but also for enthusiasts of numismatics, vinyl records and period furniture – or simply for anyone wishing to spend a different kind of day browsing through the stalls.
