Antiques Market Exhibition and Sartirana Textile Show

Antiques in the Castle

The Antiques Market Exhibition in Sartirana Lomellina, in the province of Pavia, is a benchmark event for collectors in Northern Italy. It is held every year in September in the evocative halls of Sartirana Castle, one of the most fascinating historic residences in Lomellina, and is organized by the Belgioioso and Sartirana Castles Exhibition Authority.

A History Over Forty Years Long

The event was founded in 1980 from an idea by Giorgio Forni, the castle's owner and art expert, and over time has established itself in the national and international antique exhibition scene for the quality and richness of the objects on display. Antique furniture, paintings, art objects, and collector's curiosities fill the castle's halls, offering visitors a journey through different eras and styles.

The Sartirana Textile Show

For some years now, the Sartirana Textile Show has been held alongside the antiques exhibition, a fair-market dedicated to antique carpets and textile art. Curated by industry experts, the event attracts merchants and customers from all over Europe and from countries such as Turkey, Iran, Thailand, Israel, and Lebanon, who transform the ancient Pila of the castle into an international showcase of knotted carpets and fine textile artifacts.

An Event for Lomellina

The Antiques Market Exhibition and the Textile Show represent a cultural and tourist attraction for Sartirana Lomellina and the entire Lomellina region. The combination of the value of the objects on display and the castle's architectural setting makes the event a highly anticipated occasion for enthusiasts, collectors, and the curious from the province of Pavia and far beyond.
