Vinilpatia – International Vinyl Fair (Spring Edition)

Vinilpatia, the kingdom of vinyl in Verbania

Vinilpatia is the international fair dedicated to vinyl records held in the town of Verbania, the capital of the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province in Piedmont. The event has found its natural home at Villa Giulia, an elegant historic residence overlooking the Pallanza lakefront, one of the most picturesque spots on Lake Maggiore. Born as a meeting place for collectors and enthusiasts, over the years Vinilpatia has become an unmissable appointment for those who love music played and listened to in the format that never goes out of style.

What you will find at the fair

The heart of the day is the large vinyl record market: a wide exhibition of vinyl records, as well as objects, gadgets, and memorabilia related to the world of music. Visitors can buy, sell, or trade their own records, creating a lively market where rarities, reissues, collector's pieces, and hard-to-find 45s circulate. From rock to pop, jazz to singer-songwriter music, and even indie and soundtracks, every musical genre finds its place among the stalls.

• Exhibition and sale of vinyl records, LPs, and 45s
• Buying, selling, and trading among collectors
• Musical merchandise, posters, relics, and memorabilia
• Exhibitors from various Italian regions and abroad

More than just records: musical culture

Vinilpatia is not just a market. Throughout its editions, the fair has hosted book presentations and meetings with authors dedicated to the history of music, from rock to iconic album covers, enriching the visit with a cultural program appreciated by the public. It is this blend of collecting, listening, and in-depth exploration that makes the event a reference point for enthusiasts in the Verbano area and beyond.

A setting on Lake Maggiore

The choice of Villa Giulia and the Pallanza lakefront gives the fair a unique atmosphere: after browsing the stalls, visitors can enjoy a stroll along the Verbania lakefront, amidst flower-filled gardens and views of Lake Maggiore. The event, with free admission, is organized by the Pro Loco of Verbania with the coordination of Aldo Genovesi and Walter De Bona, and under the patronage of the Municipality of Verbania, representing a key piece of the Piedmontese city's rich spring cultural agenda.
