Militaria Roma – Military Collectibles and Antiques Fair

Militaria Roma, the gathering place for military history collectors

Militaria Roma is the fair dedicated to military collectibles and antiques that has been drawing enthusiasts of 20th-century history to the capital for several years. The event is a true exhibition and trade show: exhibitors and collectors meet for a day of buying, selling, researching, and exchanging items spanning two centuries of Italian and European military history.

What you will find on display

Exhibitor tables feature everything from uniforms to insignia, tin toys to pennants, badges to documents, and vintage accessories to photographs, as well as medals, helmets, collar tabs, and, outdoors, historical military vehicles. There is no shortage of vintage books, postcards, and materials that allow for the reconstruction of units, campaigns, and uniformology. Some editions have also featured practical demonstrations, such as those dedicated to vintage radio equipment, which bring the public closer to the technical and daily aspects of military life.
