Outdoor Food & Antique Markets in Campania
Outdoor Food & Antique Markets in Campania
Apart from being the most unique source of souvenirs and consolation gifts for the friends you left behind, outdoor markets are some of the most interesting places in Italy. Almost all of them offer a collection of items that ranges from near-worthless knickknacks to priceless works of art, from the ancient to the post-post modern. Some markets
are specialized but all welcome visitors, who are encouraged to have fun bargaining in English, Italian, sign language or any combination of the above. A word to the wise: keep your money and valuables stashed under at least one layer of clothes.
Who wants to spend the whole time worrying why all those people are jostling you?
Here is a partial calendar of outdoor markets held in Campania.
Keep in mind that special outdoor markets are almost always held on the occasion of town fairs and festivals.
