Lucca Antique Market (Mercatino Antiquariato Lucca) has been running since 1970 and takes place on the third Saturday and Sunday of every month. The market spreads across several historic squares near the cathedral, including Piazza Napoleone, Piazza San Martino, and Piazza Giusti, with over 200 vendors from across Italy. Participating vendors are selling a wide range of antiquities including Italian pottery, Venetian glassware, antique silver, lace, embroidery, jewelry, ceramics, chandeliers, paintings, and furniture. The market typically starts from 9am and runs until early evening, around 7-8pm. The permanent antique scene in Lucca extends beyond the monthly market. Via del Battistero is the city’s dedicated street for antique dealers, with independent galleries and shops open year-round, selling furniture and decorative arts, including pieces sourced for Italian film productions. The market’s roots in Lucca go back much further, with the city having a long tradition of antique dealing tied to the noble families who traded in fine goods across Europe during the Middle Ages.
