Held in the beautiful gardens of the Villa Comunale of Naples which spread from Piazza della Repubblica to Piazza Vittoria, and were built in 1780 by the Borbon King Ferdinand 4th. In this giant public park, every 3rd and 4th week-end of the month is one of the largest antique fair in Southern Italy with more than 200 stands.
Not to be missed for those who love Baroque furnishings, paintings, tapestries, antique materials, statues and prints: goods on sale are of high standard and the prices reflect this, but there is no shortage of opportunities for everyone and it is well worth spending a few hours browsing around the stalls.
