About La Soffitta nella Strada

It is the main event of the Sarzana summer: for days the historic center of Sarzana fills with stalls of antiques, modern antiques, and artistic objects. La Soffitta nella Strada is one of the longest-running markets of its kind in Italy, capable of attracting collectors, curious onlookers, and lovers of beauty from all over Liguria and neighboring Tuscany, in the Province of La Spezia.

A market that is an institution

La Soffitta nella Strada is one of the most beloved and iconic events in Sarzana (Province of La Spezia). It is a large market of antiques, modern antiques, and artistic objects, which for decades has enlivened the historic center of the city, among the palaces and squares of the medieval village.

Among furniture, prints, and curiosities

Along the streets of the center, exhibitors' stalls are set up: vintage furniture, prints, ceramics, antique books, jewelry, design objects, and curiosities of all kinds. It is the realm of collectors and those who love to rummage in search of rare pieces, but also a fascinating walk for anyone who wants to breathe in the atmosphere of a large "attic" spread throughout the street.

The heart of the Sarzana summer

Considered the main event of the city's summer, La Soffitta nella Strada takes place in the evening hours, when the climate is milder and the historic center is at its best. Alongside the summer edition, some market events are repeated throughout the year, confirming the deep bond between Sarzana and its antique vocation.
