Easter Monday Market

An Easter Monday tradition in the heart of Monferrato

The Easter Monday Market is a highly anticipated tradition in Berzano di San Pietro, a tiny village in the Province of Asti perched at 424 meters in the hills of the Asti Monferrato, in Piedmont. Every year, on Easter Monday, the village comes alive for a day entirely dedicated to antiques, second-hand finds, and the flavors of the Piedmontese countryside.

What you will find at the stalls

The event blends two complementary themes: a vintage and antique trade market featuring old objects and collectibles, and a fair showcasing local agricultural and artisanal products. Strolling between the Town Hall Square and the village streets, you can discover:

• vintage furniture, bric-a-brac, and small antiques;
• books, postcards, and historical photographs for collectors;
• cheeses, honey, preserves, and fresh produce from local farmers;
• local handcrafted goods.

It is this unique mix of curiosity and authenticity that makes the Easter Monday Market one of the most characteristic events in the spring calendar of the Asti region.

A once-a-year market

Unlike large city markets, the atmosphere here remains intimate and familiar, typical of a small hillside village. The event is organized by the Municipality of Berzano di San Pietro and is held under the patronage of the Piedmont Region. For those looking for a different way to spend Easter Monday, away from the crowded tourist spots, it is the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of Monferrato, combining a pleasant walk, vintage shopping, and delicious local food.
