Trino Antica: Art and Merchants
The monthly market for modern antiques, vintage treasures, and collectibles in the heart of Trino
About Trino Antica
Trino Antica: Art and Merchants
Once a month, the historic center of Trino, located in the heart of the Vercelli rice fields, transforms into a large open-air market. Trino Antica: Art and Merchants is the event that fills the streets and squares of the village every second Sunday of the month with stalls dedicated to modern antiques, vintage finds, collectibles, and handicrafts. It is a great opportunity for enthusiasts of vintage objects, as well as for those simply looking to take a stroll and discover a corner of Piedmont often off the beaten tourist path.
A permanent fixture in Trino's calendar
Inaugurated in November 2025, the event quickly became a regular appointment for the town in the Province of Vercelli. Organized by the Municipality of Trino, it runs throughout the day and welcomes exhibitors offering modern antiques, vintage items, collectibles, and handcrafted creations. The itinerant format through the town center allows visitors to combine shopping with the discovery of the village's historical heritage.
What to find at the stalls
- Modern Antiques: furniture, design objects, and 20th-century curiosities.
- Vintage: clothing, accessories, and objects from bygone eras.
- Collectibles: prints, postcards, records, coins, and small rarities.
- Handicrafts: handmade creations and artifacts.
Trino, a village to discover
The market is also a perfect reason to visit Trino, a town with ancient origins: the settlement has roots in the Roman Rigomagus, whose Celtic-based name meant "the king's market." In the historic center, the parish church of San Bartolomeo, the church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, and the Palazzo Paleologo in Piazza Garibaldi—the former seat of the Paleologi court of Monferrato—stand out. Trino is also known for its Historical Carnival and its long tradition of rice cultivation, introduced by Cistercian monks. Visiting the market on a Sunday means experiencing the authentic rhythm of a Piedmontese town, blending history, folk traditions, and a passion for the objects of the past.
