About Retrò

Every third Sunday of the month, the historic center of Città di Castello fills with stalls and curiosities with Retrò, one of the longest-running and most beloved antique, modern, and vintage markets in central Italy. Over forty years of history and up to 125-130 exhibitors winding through the squares and streets: philately, numismatics, books, antique furniture, collectibles, and plenty of vintage to discover while strolling from dawn till dusk.

Forty Years of Retrò

Retrò is the monthly antique, modern, and vintage market in Città di Castello (province of Perugia), a regular event on the third Sunday of every month. With over forty years of history, it is one of the most established and appreciated events of its kind in central Italy, attracting collectors, enthusiasts, and tourists from all over the region and beyond.

A Market Spread Through the Historic Center

The stalls — up to 125-130 exhibitors on peak days — wind along a route that crosses the heart of the city: Piazza Matteotti, Largo Gildoni, Via Mario Angeloni, Piazza Fanti, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Corso Cavour, all the way to Piazza Gabriotti. A stroll among the treasures of the past, from morning opening until evening.

What You Can Find

The offer is vast: philately, numismatics, antiques, books, antique furniture, collectibles, and plenty of modern and vintage items. An opportunity to find unique pieces, but also to experience the historic center of Città di Castello in a lively and convivial atmosphere. Given its success, the event aims to expand into new areas of the city.
