Fuori Tutto – Tutti Fuori!

A reuse festival in the heart of Valsesia

Fuori Tutto – Tutti Fuori! is the spring event that transforms the streets of Guardabosone, a tiny village in the province of Vercelli, into a large, widespread market dedicated to swapping and recovery every April 25th. The initiative, promoted by the Municipality of Guardabosone in collaboration with local associations, was born with a clear spirit: to give new life to forgotten objects, showcase artisan creativity, and create a meeting point for residents and visitors in the heart of northern Piedmont.

The swap and reuse market

The heart of the event is the swap, recycling, and recovery market: anyone can display and trade unused items and books while strolling past stalls set up along Via Roma, in Piazza Repubblica, and in the village courtyards. Alongside private individuals, artisans showcase their unique creations, and there is also a corner dedicated to garden seed swapping, a small ritual cherished by gardening and nature enthusiasts.

• Stalls for swapping and trading used items and books
• Artisans and unique handcrafted creations
• Garden seed and plant exchange
• Refreshment points along the route

Exhibitions, books, and music

The day is not limited to the market. In the spaces of the former elementary school on Via Roma, a photography exhibition curated by the Fotogruppo Noveis is set up, which remains open even after the festival. In the afternoon, there is a book presentation followed by an evocative carillon concert, while the Natural History Museum opens its doors to welcome visitors to its collections.

A village to discover

Guardabosone is one of the most characteristic villages in the lower Valsesia, known for its compact historic center and its Natural History Museum. Participating in Fuori Tutto – Tutti Fuori! means combining the sustainability of reuse with the discovery of an authentic town, far from mass tourism, where community spirit is still the main focus.
