Tonfano Antiques Fair

A Sunday between antiques and the sea in Versilia

The Tonfano Antiques Fair is one of the most beloved summer events in Marina di Pietrasanta, a seaside hamlet in the municipality of Pietrasanta, in the province of Lucca, in the heart of the Tuscan Versilia. The market fair brings the charming Piazza XXIV Maggio to life, turning it into an open-air path among exhibitor stalls, just steps from the beach.

What you will find at the stalls

The event brings together specialized exhibitors, offering a rich and varied selection designed for both expert collectors and curious visitors looking for that special piece:

• Antiques: period furniture, prints, silverware, ceramics, and decor from the past.
• Mid-century modern: pieces and accessories that defined 20th-century style.
• Vintage: clothing, accessories, and retro-style objects.
• Design: lamps, chairs, and icons of industrial design.
• Collectibles: vinyl records, books, postcards, posters, coins, and small rarities.

A recurring event throughout the summer

The fair is not a one-off event but a series that marks the rhythm of the Versilia season from May to September, with one weekend per month. It has become a classic for those spending their holidays on the Pietrasanta coast and for enthusiasts arriving from all over Tuscany to browse the stalls. The event is organized by Marina Eventi in collaboration with the A.P.A. (Association for the Promotion of Antiques) and is sponsored by the Municipality of Pietrasanta.

Atmosphere and setting

Walking through the stalls of the Tonfano Antiques Fair means combining two typical Versilia pleasures: the hunt for a unique piece and the charm of the sea. Piazza XXIV Maggio is located just a short distance from the promenade and the pine forests of Marina di Pietrasanta, making it easy to turn your visit into a full day of shopping, aperitifs, and a dip in the sea. Admission is free, and the extended hours allow you to take advantage of the cool evening air to browse at your leisure.
