Meet you at Mercanteinfiera

After a successful Fall edition, from March 4 to March 12 Fiere di Parma opens again its gates to host the largest trade fair dedicated to antiques, collectables and vintage.

Collectors, dealers and enthusiasts of art, antiques, vintage and design objects can finally start planning their trip to Parma: from March 4 to 12 the long-awaited appointment with Mercanteinfiera, the international antiques and modern collectibles fair held twice a year in Parma, Italy, is coming. 

On this occasion, visitors from all over the world come together to find sought-after one-of-a-kind pieces, vintage clothes and designer furniture. The fair has more than 1,000 exhibitors and offers a wide range of products including furniture, jewelry, ceramics, textiles, paintings and sculptures. As usual, this spring edition will also host lectures, meetings and events exploring various topics related to art and antiques.

Between one booth and another, we recommend stopping to admire the boats presented in the context of the Onda su Onda: at the roots of navigation exhibition, created by the Museo Barca Lariana and curated by Emanuele Seghetti, to tell not only the history of Larian boating but of Italy as a whole. Among many vintage boats one can admire the one owned by Silvio Pellico, who loved to contemplate the lake from the gardens of Villa Balbianello while discussing Italy and revolution.

Also not to be missed are the other two exhibits, Fortissimi: life as a ring, which presents the compelling story of four Italian boxers who throughout the 20th century made their audiences dream from New York's Madison Square Garden to Hollywood. And Anime, a journey back in time to the fascinating golden era of animeation and Japanese cartoons of the 1980s and 1990s.

Beetween the exhibits and the many galleries set up by the best professionals in the field, visitors can take a real journey into the past, enjoying their own treasures hunt into the 20th century and the previous decades. Precious modern itimes and antiques of all kinds and types await. And of course, intOndo will be at Mercainteinfiera too, to represent the connection between the objects of the past and digital services of the present and the future. Come to visit us at Hall 4, booth D026.
