Every year during the autumn/winter season, the Modena’s Fair Centre hosts “7.8.Novecento“, the Great Market of the Antiques. It’s one of the oldest antiques markets in Italy, with about 200 Italian and foreign antiquarians, where you can find important antiques, modern and vintage pieces.

On the third Sunday of each month (except June, July, and August) in the streets of the historic center of the pretty village of Spilamberto, province of Modena, “800 e dintorni” is held, the exhibition market of the old and used things, which collects about 200 exhibitors.

Several times during the year the Forlì Fair Centre hosts the flea & hobby market “Commercianti per un giorno“ (Merchants for a day).

At the fair, you can really find everything: from engines to electronic products, from collecting to clothing.

Every third weekend of the month in the Cesena Fair Centre, the antiques show-market “C’era una volta…Antiquariato” (Once upon a time…Antiques) offers a vast range of products and an excellent selection of fine antiques from the 17th century up to to the last century.
