About The Time That Was Market

Once a month, the Cono Ottico Park in Roncadelle comes alive with stalls telling tales of times gone by: antique furniture, modern design pieces, yellowed books, vinyl records, ceramics, and all sorts of curiosities. It's the 'Mercatino del Tempo che Fu', the monthly appointment with antiques and second-hand goods that transforms the park into a large open-air market. Exhibitors and collectors gather from the early morning hours, offering those looking for the right bargain – or simply those who love to browse – an entire day among stories, objects, and forgotten little treasures.

The Market That Tells the Past

There's an event that regularly marks the months of the year in the Municipality of Roncadelle: it's the Mercatino del Tempo che Fu, which enlivens the Parco Cono Ottico on Via Giorgio Amendola on the first Sunday of every month (except August). An antiques and second-hand market that invites you to slow down, rummage through the stalls, and let yourself be surprised.

You can find a bit of everything among the stalls: antique furniture and modern design, collectible objects, old books and postcards, vinyl records, vintage costume jewelry, ceramics, second-hand clothing. The charm of these markets lies precisely in their unpredictability: you never know what you'll find, and the search for a bargain becomes part of the fun.

A Regular Event for Roncadelle

Organized by the Culture and Sports Office of the Municipality of Roncadelle, in the province of Brescia, the market has become a reference point for antique enthusiasts, collectors, and the simply curious from the Bassa bresciana region. Its monthly frequency and the park's large green space make it a pleasant Sunday destination, where you can stroll calmly among the stalls and perhaps take home a piece with a story to tell.

When and Where

The market takes place on the first Sunday of the month from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, from January to December, with the sole exclusion of August. A proven formula that is renewed edition after edition, always in the same place, always with the same spirit.
