Have you ever strolled around a flea market (Mercato delle Pulci) in Tuscany? If not, you should! Visiting Tuscany doesn’t mean only going to museums.
Tuscany is a true treasure chest of flea markets, places to have fun and discover Italian character and culture. It is a place where you certainly will be able to find a small gem that you will want to bring back home as a souvenir or a gift!
The flea market held every year on Easter Monday in Greve in Chianti , at 10 minutes from Hotel Villa le Barone is one of the best example of such an happening !You will find there rustic furniture, old tools, paintings, prints, postcards, ceramics, jewelry…An eclectic mix that people love!
Of course, there are many other flea markets in Villa le Barone’s vicinity: in Florence, on the last Sunday of each month, in Piazza deI Ciompi and around, about 100 stands are offering a similar “mélange “of genuine antiques and bric-a-brac!
Arezzo is also well known for its flea market held on the first week end of the month on the main piazza and the various street. Dealers are coming from far away to expose their wares! Again an occasion to bargain and to come back with a fabulous find!
