Unique Market

A boutique market in the heart of Ostiense

Unique Market (also known as Unique or Unique Mkt) is one of the capital's most vibrant events dedicated to independent craftsmanship. It is held at Industrie Fluviali, a former factory spanning over 2,000 square meters that has been transformed into a cultural and creative hub, located at Via del Porto Fluviale 35 in the Ostiense district of Rome. The market is more than just a place to shop; it is a 360-degree sensory experience spread across three levels, featuring indoor spaces, a lower floor, and terraces overlooking the neighborhood.

Over fifty exhibitors from all over Italy

The heart of Unique Market lies in its fifty-plus exhibitors, carefully selected from across Italy. Each edition brings together a community of artisans, designers, and independent creatives who showcase the very best of contemporary production. Among the stalls, you can discover:

• Handmade ceramics, often as unique pieces or small-batch series;
• Contemporary jewelry and designer bijoux;
• Bespoke and vintage clothing, with selections ranging from the 1940s to the 1980s;
• Sustainable design objects, home decor, and botanical arrangements;
• Illustrations, paintings, and visual arts by emerging artists;
• Vegetable wax candles, natural cosmetics, and handcrafted leather bags and accessories.

More than just shopping: workshops and flavors

Beyond shopping, Unique Market offers experiential moments such as artistic workshops, including sessions on Kintsugi—the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken objects to highlight their imperfections. The terraces host a plant-based refreshment area with lounge seating, where you can savor regional specialties such as oils, honey, and delicacies from the Tuscia region. It is the perfect way to experience the event at a leisurely pace, between purchases and conversation.

A recurring appointment

Launched in the autumn of 2025, Unique Market has quickly established itself as a staple of the Roman creative scene, with editions typically running from October to April, followed by a summer break. Each edition features a rotating selection of vendors, ensuring that every visit offers something new. Its location in the Ostiense district—one of the most dynamic artistic hubs in Rome and the Lazio region—makes it an ideal destination for those who love authentic craftsmanship and independent style.
