Abat-Jour Market — Spring Market

A Vintage Market in the Heart of the Piacenza Countryside

Abat-Jour Market is one of the most beloved events for lovers of vintage, antiques, and creative crafts in Emilia-Romagna. The setting is the Corte Faggiola, an ancient agricultural court in Gariga, a hamlet of the Municipality of Podenzano, in the province of Piacenza: a historic rural complex protected as a monument of value, which with its ancient rooms and outdoor spaces offers a perfect backdrop for a day of conscious shopping and refined atmosphere.

What You'll Find

The market brings together over thirty exhibitors from all over Italy, selected from independent designers, illustrators, contemporary artisans, collectors, and vintage brands. The setup is spread both indoors, in the charming ancient rooms of the court, and outdoors, under the portico and in the open spaces.

• Vintage and Antiques: vintage clothing, accessories, and objects
• Handmade and Self-Produced fashion and design items
• Flowers and seasonal offerings
• Creative Recycling and unique collectible pieces

Not Just Shopping

Abat-Jour Market is designed to be an experience to be enjoyed all day long. Alongside the stalls, there is live music, shows for all ages, a rich food area, and a cocktail bar with drinks, wine, and beers. The little ones have creative workshops and entertainment available throughout the event, making it suitable for families too.

An Event Twice a Year

The market returns to Corte Faggiola seasonally: the Spring Market and the autumn market mark the year for regulars. The formula remains the winning one of an open-air market that combines research, sustainability, and conviviality, in a corner of the province of Piacenza that is worth the trip alone. Admission is free.
