Pescia Antiqua

A Sunday of antiques in the center of Pescia

Every fourth Sunday of the month, the historic center of Pescia, in the heart of the Valdinievole area in the province of Pistoia, transforms into a large open-air market. Pescia Antiqua is one of the main monthly antique events in Tuscany: a widespread market exhibition that fills the squares and streets of the center with stalls featuring selected antiques, mid-century modern pieces, collectibles, and vintage items. It is the perfect opportunity for those who love browsing through objects of the past, hunting for a rare find, or simply spending a different kind of day strolling through the city's living room.

Where the market takes place

The stalls are spread along a route that crosses the heart of Pescia: Piazza Mazzini, which hosts the most select antiques and collectibles, Borgo della Vittoria and via Andreotti, dedicated to the flea market, vintage items, and typical Tuscan sweets, as well as via Ricasoli, via Buonvicini, Piazza del Grano, Piazza XX Settembre, and Piazza Matteotti. Every month, the event attracts dozens of exhibitors and thousands of visitors from all over the Valdinievole and neighboring provinces.

What you will find among the stalls

• Period furniture and antique objects
• Mid-century modern items and 20th-century design
• Collectibles: records, coins, postcards, books, prints, and comics
• Vintage clothing and a flea market
• Crafts and typical products, with an agri-food market featuring local goods

During Pescia Antiqua, the shops in the center remain open, and collateral initiatives are often added, making the event a true festive Sunday for the city.
