In October 2026, Rome is hosting various creative and artisanal events. The ‘Il Mercato dell’Arte’ residency at the Trullo market features four resident artists using market stalls as temporary ateliers to create collective works involving local residents and merchants.

Additionally, the city is hosting independent design and vintage markets. The Ficus al Massimo market at the Garum Museo della Cucina showcases Italian exhibitors in fashion, jewelry, and ceramics. This market is scheduled to take place on October 24 and 25, featuring independent brands, illustrators, and designers.

The Vintage Market Roma series begins at Forte Trionfale with approximately 120 exhibitors offering handmade crafts, vinyl, and upcycled clothing. Furthering the focus on sustainability, the Remira Market will be held on October 25 at Zalib, focusing on the “circular economy and sustainable fashion” with approximately 40 exhibitors.
