Mercato Settimanale di Forte dei Marmi
About
The Mercato Settimanale di Forte dei Marmi is Italy’s most celebrated open‑air market, drawing thousands of visitors every week to the bustling stalls in its historic Piazza Guglielmo Marconi. Open every Wednesday from 8 am to 1:30 pm, the market showcases over 200 carefully curated merchants offering high‑quality fashion, leather accessories, household goods, and artisanal treats – a true open‑air boutique experience that rivals the world’s leading fashion capitals. In addition to the weekday market, the city hosts seasonal Sunday editions from Easter to the end of October, and a vibrant Friday market on Via Giuseppe Mazzini in the picturesque Vittoria Apuana district, both featuring the same lively atmosphere and exquisite craftsmanship. Surrounded by Mediterranean scenery, the site’s proximity to the sea and its historic piazza make it an ideal destination for fashion lovers, families, and local artists alike.
