A vintage market in a Liberty villa

In Chiari, in the Bassa Bresciana region, Villa Mazzotti Biancinelli is one of the most representative residences in the province of Brescia: an example of Liberty architecture enhanced by Italian gardens. Twice a year, this exceptional setting hosts Mercanti in Villa, an exhibition-market that evokes the atmosphere of the Belle Époque and has become a highly anticipated event for vintage enthusiasts, collectors, and the curious from all over Lombardy.

What you'll find among the stalls

Over 70 exhibitors are spread across the two floors of the villa, presenting curated displays with rare and selected pieces. Among the stalls, you'll find vintage clothing and accessories—bags, scarves, sunglasses, and eyeglasses—small antiques and modern antiques, designer furnishings, vinyl records, comics, books, and paintings.

An event twice a year

The event is organized by the Associazione Nonsolovinile, active throughout the Lake Garda area and the province of Brescia with events dedicated to collecting and vintage. In Chiari, the event takes place in spring (around March) and autumn (around November), transforming the villa into a grand salon of beauty and sought-after items. Admission is free, and the residence is open from morning to evening, allowing visitors to explore both exhibition floors and the gardens at their leisure.
