Gli Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi

A market of excellence in Orbassano

When the stalls of the Gli Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi consortium arrive in Orbassano, in the province of Turin, Piazza della Pace (the historic Market Square) transforms into an open-air lounge dedicated to quality shopping. For an entire day, from 8 AM to 7 PM, residents and visitors from neighboring towns can stroll through the stalls in search of the best Italian craftsmanship and fashion, with continuous hours that remain open even in poor weather.

The history of the Consortium

The registered trademark Gli Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi was established in 2002, bringing together some of the best vendors historically present at the famous market in Forte dei Marmi, on the Tuscan coast. The founders' goal was to make that spectacle of style and elegance itinerant, bringing it to town squares all over Italy. Over time, the Consortium has reinvented an ancient trade for modern times, focusing decisively on the quality of materials and the latest fashion trends, while strictly excluding imitations and low-quality products.

What to find at the stalls

The range of goods is vast and refined. Among the market stalls, you can find:

• Designer clothing and seasonal collections
• High-end artisanal leather goods, including bags and shoes
• The best national cashmere production
• Furs, fine fabrics, and home linens
• Porcelain and jewelry

All in the spirit of shopping described by the organizers themselves as "exclusive and affordable," capable of combining the artisanal care of "Made in Italy" with accessible prices.

An event for the Piedmont region

The arrival of the Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi in Orbassano has become a staple in the calendar of the Turin metropolitan area. The traveling format brings a major commercial event to the western outskirts of Turin, attracting visitors from across the province and enlivening the city center for an entire day. The square, usually home to the weekly market, becomes the stage for a mercantile tradition that has its roots on the Tuscan coast but has successfully conquered Piedmont as well.

Free admission

Participation in the market is completely free and open to everyone: simply head to the square during opening hours to browse the stalls and shop.
