Mercatino Antiquariato Campo San Maurizio (Antiques Market), Venice

There is a compelling reason for this well-established Venetian antique market to take place in Campo San Maurizio. This charming square is notable for its Gothic-style palaces, including Bellavite and Molin, which occupy the western side. On the eastern side, one can find Palazzo Zaguri, another impressive Gothic palace. However, the square's true gem is the Church of San Maurizio, an ancient temple adorned with a neoclassical gabled facade.

For many decades, this historically rich setting has played host to an antique market that never fails to captivate visitors, offering a wide array of precious art objects showcased on traditional wooden stalls. Here, one can admire genuine works of art, including paintings, collectibles, antique furniture, and exquisite jewelry, all presented by esteemed antique dealers from Venice and northern Italy. It is virtually impossible not to discover a treasured piece to take home from this event.

A must-visit for enthusiasts of antiques, vintage items, and collectibles, particularly those fortunate enough to be in Venice during the five annual weekends when this event graces the city.

Note:
The market does not take place every month but rather occurs in April, June, September, October, and December.
