Novantico — Grand Small Antiques Market

An antiques market that returns every month

Novantico is the Grand Small Antiques Market of Novi Ligure, in the heart of the Novese area in the province of Alessandria. On a monthly basis, every fourth Saturday of the month, the historic center of this Piedmontese town comes alive with stalls, exhibitors, and that discreet charm that only objects from the past can offer. It is one of the most beloved and long-standing events in the region, capable of attracting collectors, curious visitors, and casual passersby in search of a bargain or a piece to rediscover.

Where it takes place

The market stretches along the streets and squares of the city's living room: Corso Marenco, Via Girardengo, and the elegant porticoes that characterize the historic center of Novi Ligure. An ideal urban setting for a leisurely stroll among the stalls, even on hotter or rainy days thanks to the shelter of the porticoes, discovering the offerings of about forty exhibitors.

What you will find

The selection at Novantico ranges from small antiques to mid-century modern and vintage items. Among the stalls, you can find:

• furniture and home decor from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s;
• vinyl records, record players, and vintage radios;
• books, magazines, and antique prints;
• collectibles, ceramics, and rare finds;
• vintage accessories and clothing.

A true journey through time, where every object tells a story and where you might just stumble upon the perfect piece to furnish your home with personality or enrich a collection.

A city landmark

Organized by the Municipality of Novi Ligure, Novantico has become a staple in the tourism calendar of the province of Alessandria and the Piedmont region, enhancing the city's historic center and its commercial vocation. For those visiting the lands of the Novese and Alto Monferrato, it is also an excellent opportunity to discover a city often linked to cycling (the champion Costante Girardengo was born here) and its confectionery specialties.
