About Antiques at the Torchio
A Regular Event in Como's Brianza
The Antiques Market at the Torchio is a well-established monthly event in Carimate, a municipality in the province of Como bordering Monza's Brianza, known for its castle and historic village. Promoted by the Municipality of Carimate, the market is held every third Sunday of the month, excluding the summer months of July and August, and represents a deeply rooted tradition in the local events calendar.
Under the Arcades of the Antico Torchio
The setting is the Piazzette of the Antico Torchio, in the heart of the historic center, near Piazza Castello: a context of arcades and picturesque views that provides the ideal backdrop for an exhibition of objects from bygone eras. Around forty-five exhibitors offer antique furniture, collectibles, prints, books, ceramics, silverware, coins, and small antiques, in a route that invites you to browse at your leisure and find the right piece.
An Opportunity for Enthusiasts and the Curious
The market is not just for connoisseurs; it's also an opportunity for a Sunday stroll through the village, blending history and collecting. Its monthly frequency and long-standing presence make it a reference point for antique lovers from all over the Como and Brianza area, offering a local-scale market, far from the crowds of large fairs but rich in offerings.
Carimate, a Village to Discover
Visiting the market is also a good excuse to discover Carimate, dominated by its castle and surrounded by the green landscapes of Como's Brianza. Its location, halfway between Como and Milan, makes the village easily accessible and ideal for a day trip combining antiques, history, and scenery.
