The event draws huge crowds, sometimes up to 30,000 visitors, both locals and tourists alike, all looking for unique items.Roman coins, old telephones, ornate grandfather clocks and china are a few of the typical items to be found. Even if you miss the monthly extravaganza, fear not: Arezzo has many more antiques to offer in its varied local shops, open all year round.
