Mother's Day with Quality Merchants

A quality market for Mother's Day

Every year, on the occasion of Mother's Day, the historic center of Rivergaro hosts one of the most anticipated stops on the Mercanti di Qualità circuit, the initiative that brings selected artisan and producer stalls to the squares of the municipalities in the province of Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna. For an entire day, the village squares fill with colors, scents, and gift ideas, offering the perfect opportunity to celebrate Mom and take a stroll along the Trebbia river.

What can be found at the stalls

The exhibitors, about forty in number and from various Italian provinces, exclusively offer 100% made in Italy products. The market is a showcase of quality craftsmanship and food and wine, with a wide variety of offerings:

• Clothing and footwear, fashion accessories, lingerie, costume jewelry, and silk scarves;
• Flowers, plants, and floral arrangements, perfect as gifts for the holiday;
• Home decor and items, furnishing accessories, and products made from natural materials;
• Food and wine specialties: honey, jams, cheeses, wines, and typical products from the Piacenza area;
• Food stalls for a break between purchases.

An event for the community

The market is promoted by the Consorzio Mercanti di Qualità, an association founded within Confcommercio Piacenza and chaired by Gloriana Tironi, in collaboration with the Municipality of Rivergaro. The event is part of a calendar of Sundays in May that also includes other municipalities in Val Trebbia and the Piacenza plain, such as Agazzano, Gossolengo, Travo, and Caorso. For the municipal administration, it is an event capable of fostering the community and enhancing the village and its territory.

Rivergaro, gateway to Val Trebbia

Overlooking the banks of the Trebbia river, Rivergaro is one of the most characteristic centers in the province of Piacenza, appreciated for its riverside promenade and the surrounding hilly landscape. The market day is the ideal opportunity to combine quality shopping with a walk through the village and the discovery of the traditions and flavors of Val Trebbia.
