Mercatino Strass Oss e Fer Rut

A name in the Pavese dialect

Strass, oss e fer rut — rags, bones, and scrap iron: the name of the market in San Genesio ed Uniti, in the province of Pavia, is a dialect tribute to the world of second-hand dealers and "old things". It's the charming and popular way this town on the outskirts of Pavia refers to its monthly event dedicated to antiques and collectibles.

Every last Sunday of the month

The market is held every last Sunday of the month, from the early morning hours: the stalls open around 8:00 AM between Via Riviera and Piazza Giovanni Repossi. Arriving early is part of the ritual for those looking for the right piece, as the best deals are made at opening time, rummaging through the stalls in search of a particular item.

What you can find

The offer is wide and varied: antiques, modern items, design, and collectibles, but also books and accessories, decorative objects, toys, and clothes, furniture, and a thousand curiosities from yesteryear. Alongside the core of second-hand goods, some stalls also offer typical and organic products, giving the market a pleasant gastronomic dimension in addition to its collecting aspect.

A classic of the Pavese area

Organized with the Municipality of San Genesio ed Uniti, the Strass Oss e Fer Rut market is a well-established event in the calendar of antique markets in the province of Pavia. Its monthly regularity and the variety of offerings make it a regular destination for enthusiasts and the curious from the area, who return every last Sunday of the month to stroll among the stalls hunting for a good bargain.
