Free exchange of used items in Piazza Cesio, Calice Ligure
The Swap Party – Festa del Baratto is the event dedicated to the free exchange of used items held in Calice Ligure, a town in the hinterland of the province of Savona. In Piazza Cesio, in the heart of the village, clothing, accessories, and utensils find new owners without any exchange of money: bring what you no longer use and take what you need, in a simple and virtuous gesture.
The initiative promotes the values of sustainability and the circular economy: reducing waste, extending the life of objects, and rethinking our relationship with consumption. The Swap Party is a concrete opportunity to put more conscious habits into practice, in a convivial atmosphere open to all.
The event is part of the SFUSO DIFFUSO project, of which the Municipality of Calice Ligure is a founding partner, dedicated to waste reduction and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles. The exchange of items thus also becomes a moment of awareness-raising and community building.
With initiatives like the Festa del Baratto, Calice Ligure confirms itself as a small village in the Savona hinterland attentive to environmental issues and social cohesion. An example of how even smaller communities can promote good practices and a culture of sustainability.
For 2026, the Swap Party – Festa del Baratto will be held on Saturday, June 13, in Piazza Cesio, Calice Ligure. Participants bring used items in good condition—clothing, accessories, utensils—and exchange them for free, giving new life to what is no longer used. The initiative is part of the SFUSO DIFFUSO project, dedicated to sustainability and waste reduction, of which the Municipality of Calice Ligure is a founding partner. Participation is free.
Calice Ligure can be reached from the Finale Ligure motorway exit (A10), heading inland. The nearest train station is Finale Ligure. The event takes place in Piazza Cesio.
Bring used items in good condition (clothing, accessories, utensils) and take those made available by other participants for free. Free participation.
