Pissignano per il Mercatino dell'Antiquariato

Pissignano is another little town that really is famous for its "First Sunday of the Month Market" hence our visit there today.

Apart from being the most unique  source of souvenirs and consolation gifts for the friends you left  behind, outdoor markets are some of the most interesting places in  Italy. Almost all of them offer a collection of items that ranges from  near-worthless knick knacks to priceless works of art, from the ancient  to the post-post modern. Some are specialized but all welcome visitors,  who are encouraged to have fun bargaining in English, Italian, sign  language or any combination of the above.

Anna Wood, the woman in the first photo with me, was one of the founders of this market, the third largest in the country.  More  than 250 exhibitors and private sellers are involved.  Pissignano, a small village its history is as rich as its olive oil, is a perfect way to spend a blustery day... a stroll through the stalls and an Umbrian lunch of bruschetta, roasted sausages and chick pea soup!  Sono abbastanza soddisfatto!
