Mostra dell'Usaa

Azzate's Second-Hand Market

The Mostra dell'Usaa is the large second-hand market that enlivens Azzate every spring, a town in the province of Varese, on the hills surrounding the small Lake Varese. The event, organized by Pro Loco Azzate, takes over the streets of the center, transforming them into a route to explore among stalls and items of all kinds.

A Market Reserved for Private Sellers

A distinctive feature of the Mostra dell'Usaa is its exclusively private nature: only citizens selling their own second-hand items are admitted, while hobbyists, professionals, and antique dealers are excluded. This makes the market authentic and varied, true to the spirit of exchange and reuse.

Through the Streets of the Center

The exhibition winds along Via Primo Maggio and Via 2 Giugno, where private sellers set up their spaces according to precise regulations (with limits, for example, on the amount of clothing displayed). Access for visitors is on foot and free, in a festive atmosphere that attracts market enthusiasts from all over the area.

An Event by Pro Loco

The Mostra dell'Usaa is one of the events organized by Pro Loco Azzate to liven up the town and promote social interaction. An opportunity to give new life to objects, make good deals, and experience the center of Azzate in a convivial atmosphere, in the heart of the province of Varese.
