Caccia all'Affare – Vintage and Second Hand Market

A journey into vintage in the heart of the Marche

Caccia all'Affare is the vintage, second-hand, and collectibles market held several times a year at the Centro Fiere di Villa Potenza, a hamlet in the Municipality of Macerata, in the province of Macerata (Marche). Organized by Mercatini Antiquari Gianni Brandozzi, a reality active for decades in the antique and second-hand sector, the event has become a regular fixture in just a few editions for lovers of modernism, collectors, and curious individuals looking for the right bargain.

What you can find

Exhibitors, from all over Italy, bring life to the indoor and outdoor spaces of the exhibition centre with thousands of unique and original items. Among the stalls, you can find:

• antique and retro furniture and furnishings;
• vintage clothing and accessories;
• vinyl records, turntables, and music memorabilia;
• historical toys, rare books, and art pieces;
• tools from the past, ceramics, and collectibles of all kinds.

An opportunity to give new life to objects from the past, in the name of reuse and sustainability, with offerings suitable for all budgets and tastes.

Special exhibitions and events

Each edition features collateral initiatives that celebrate the memory of the Macerata territory. Among the exhibitions curated by Gianni Brandozzi, a collector from the Marche region, is "Mezzo litro e una Gassosa", dedicated to local carbonated drinks from the 20th century, with historical labels and original bottles from brands like Gassosa Gallo and Gassosa di Macerata. The event is accompanied by a refreshment area with local gastronomic specialties and a musical selection that provides a backdrop to the visit.

An event for the whole family

With free admission, ample free parking, and accessible spaces, Caccia all'Affare is also designed for families: a day to spend searching for bargains, nostalgia, and conviviality. The indoor format makes the market accessible in all seasons, from spring to autumn and Christmas editions, confirming the Villa Potenza Exhibition Centre as a reference point for the second-hand and vintage trade in the Marche region.
