Todi, a hilltop town in the heart of Umbria, is known for its quiet charm and historic piazzas.

With views over the Umbrian hills, the setting is just as special as the treasures on offer.

OSTUNI VINTAGE MARKET – PUGLIA
Various weekends (check local listings)

The white city of Ostuni hosts occasional vintage and brocante markets, often popping up in its winding alleyways or tucked inside olive groves just outside town. Here you’ll find sun-bleached pottery, linen dresses, and 1970s glassware with a Southern Italian twist. Most sellers are locals or collectors from nearby villages, offering a more intimate and spontaneous market experience.
Perfect for: Puglia lovers, sun-chasers, and vintage collectors looking for one-of-a-kind pieces.
