CAMPO SAN MAURIZIO ANTIQUES MARKET

If you happen to be in Venice during one of the five weekends when the historic antiques market in Campo San Maurizio takes place, a visit is a must. Professional dealers from across Italy gather here to offer their valuable goods: objects and curiosities from the past, but above all fine pieces dating from the 17th to the 20th century. Displayed on the characteristic wooden stalls – unchanged since 1970, the year the market was founded – the items on show can satisfy even the most discerning collectors.
