Cultural and historical events in Italy focus on collecting and heritage. In mid-August, reports highlighted the upcoming 80th edition of a vintage toy exchange in Verona, featuring items such as model airplanes, dolls, and Lego. Additionally, the Regno di Babbo Natale in Vetralla reopened for the season with new immersive scenery and a food festival.

By early September, scheduled events expanded to include the “Castello Colleziona” in Castell’Arquato, which brings together over one hundred exhibitors specializing in antiques, militaria, and philately. Concurrently, Casale Monferrato scheduled an exhibition titled “Dalla trincea alla famiglia. La posta del soldato” (From the Trench to the Family: The Soldier's Mail), showcasing historical correspondence and objects used by soldiers during World War I and World War II.
