Antiques Market Virtual Tour
Every third weekend of the month Lucca hosts the Antiques Market. In this way the squares and the streets around the Duomo are animated by tireless fans who admire the antique furniture waiting to find something beautiful and precious like a sweet porcelain doll or a delicate teapot.
The nearly 230 Antique Dealers expose vintage clothes, romantic lamps, antique coins, whimsical hats, elegant dinner services, dusty old magazines that immediately bring us back in time.
In the heart of a city where time seems to stand still the Market blow, melancholy, a gentle atmosphere that smells of memories and old records, of furniture and faded postcards that trace the history of men and places.
Even when the gray accompanies the weekend, a walk in this atmosphere is an ideal pastime for hushed tourists or people who decide to explore on foot, slowly, the taste of a slow afternoon and beautiful.
