La Soffitta in Piazza e l'Angolo del Libro Usato

A market for treasure hunters

Some are looking for an old vinyl record, others for an out-of-print book, a vintage piece, or an antique postcard: La Soffitta in Piazza is the non-professional second-hand market that, one Sunday a month, enlivens Piazza Risorgimento and the surrounding areas of Pordenone. Together with the Angolo del Libro Usato (Used Book Corner), dedicated to second-hand volumes, it is the realm of collectors, the curious, and those who love rummaging through stalls in search of a bargain.

Only private sellers, no professionals

The market's unique feature is its nature: the stalls are run by private citizens, not professional traders. Used items, books, collectibles, coins, vintage goods, and household items are sold and exchanged in an informal and popular atmosphere. It's an opportunity to give new life to what is no longer needed, promoting reuse and sustainability.

A regular event

Organized by Pro Loco Pordenone APS, the market takes place on the last Sunday of the month from March to November (with breaks in July, August, and December). It's a recurring event that brings life and foot traffic to the centre of Pordenone, a city that will be the Italian Capital of Culture in 2027.

Atmosphere

Amidst the chatter from the stalls, the stories hidden behind each object, and the joy of discovery, La Soffitta in Piazza is one of those city habits that make a Sunday stroll in the centre special.
