Travo Vintage - Empty the Attic

A reuse market under the sky of the Trebbia Valley

Every Thursday evening, from June to August, the central Piazza Trento in Travo transforms into a large open-air market. Travo Vintage - Empty the Attic is the summer event dedicated to second-hand goods, reuse, and vintage: private individuals and enthusiasts display second-hand items, antiques, books, records, clothing, ceramics, and curiosities of all kinds on their stalls. It's the perfect opportunity to give new life to what is no longer used and, at the same time, to find small treasures at affordable prices.

Where and When

The market takes place in the heart of the village of Travo, a municipality in the Province of Piacenza overlooking the picturesque Trebbia Valley, in Emilia-Romagna. It is held every Thursday evening during the summer season, when the milder temperatures and the village atmosphere make a stroll among the stalls pleasant, hence the nickname "market under the stars".

Who Organizes It

The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Travo in collaboration with the Enoteca Simo's Palate, and is part of the village's rich summer calendar, which also offers musical evenings, literary meetings, and a market for local producers and artisans during the summer. The "empty the attic" formula is simple and participatory: anyone can book a space to display their items, while visitors stroll freely and for free among the stalls.

Why It's Worth a Visit

Travo is one of the most characteristic villages in the Trebbia Valley, immersed in a landscape of hills and meanders of the Trebbia river. Combining a visit to the market with a walk through the historic center, along the river, or to the archaeological area of Travo makes the evening a pleasant reason to discover this corner of the Piacenza Apennines. The reuse market is also a concrete way to experience the village sustainably, focusing on recovery and giving objects a second life.
