Fiera Antiquaria di Arezzo
Arezzo
06-04-13 | 07-04-13
Just 40 minute drive from Borgo di Vagli, Italy's oldest, largest and best-known antique market returns to the cobble stone streets of Arezzo. In 1968 a famous antiquarian and collector of Arezzo, Ivan Bruschi, gave birth to this fair which still today fills with its curious bric-a-brac the old town centre, its streets, yards, Vasari Loggia and wonderful Piazza Grande, every first weekend of the month. For two days the town changes into a multicolor scenery of treasures waiting to be discovered by tourists and collectors: over five hundreds exhibitors from all over Italy meet here with their furniture and objects of all periods and styles, while antiquarians and restorers have multiplied their business, opening their shops during the fair and showing their best items. Experts of antiques and modern antique collecting find here plenty of particular specializations, such as, for instance, scientific tools, Art-Nouveau stained glass windows and Art Deco furnishings. The fair is in its 45th year and has an average of 20,000 visitors over the two days. It was here that Fulvio sourced many of the genuine rustic pieces of furniture, wrought iron bedsteads, wardrobes and cupboards for Vagli.
