Various antique markets and cultural initiatives are being highlighted across Italy to promote local heritage and tourism.

In Casale Monferrato, the Antique Market in Piazza Castello is set for September 13, featuring approximately 300 exhibitors. This edition emphasizes food and drink themes, showcasing vintage kitchenware, wine containers, and antique dining sets. The event also includes culinary literature and local food offerings through a nearby Farmer Market.

In Cosenza, the Comitato Piazza Spirito Santo has proposed a new monthly antique, vintage, and collectibles market to revitalize the city's historical center. The proposal suggests a monthly itinerary through several historic squares and streets during the first weekend of each month. The goal is to create a 'Historical Center Tour' that integrates commerce, tourism, music, and culture to attract visitors from across Calabria and beyond.
