Annual appointments calendar
“Mercato di eccellenza" (=Craftsmanship of excellence)
in May in Lecce - check online the precise date
The exhibition takes place during “Cortili Aperti” event in Lecce, on the most beautiful weekend of the Baroque capital. The appointment is in via Rubichi 35 (near Piazza Sant'Oronzo) with an initiative capable of virtuously mixing the big names of craftsmanship with highly selected local exhibitors. They have really nice things, clothing, hand bags, jewelery, and much more . . . I do not miss it!
“Antiques in Valle d'Itria”
third week of August in Martina Franca
During the week of Ferragosto, over 80 Italian and foreign exhibitors exhibit in the internal and external spaces of the Guglielmo Marconi institute, transforming it into a large exhibition district and making the city the capital of antiques.
