After much anticipation, the Forte dei Marmi market is set to return to the Bologna area, delighting fans of artisanal Italian craftsmanship and couture. This beloved market, known for its open-air boutiques, will make its inaugural stop at Castenaso on March 1st and will follow up with another event at Lainate on March 2nd, offering shoppers the chance to indulge in the best of made-in-Italy products.
This time, the market will take place at Via Sentiero Idice, running from 8 AM to 7 PM. Shoppers can expect to find some amazing deals amid an array of merchants who are bringing their best offerings following their January fair appearance. With the previous autumn event having been canceled due to severe weather, excitement is at fever pitch for this first March outing.
The Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi have made their mark since 2002; they have transformed the historic Versilia market's experience by taking it across Italy, establishing themselves as the face of premium Italian shopping. Andrea Ceccarelli, the president of the consortia, emphasizes the commitment to quality, stating, “Our market is synonymous with exclusive and convenient shopping,” indicating the high standards upheld by the vendors.
The market will showcase not only apparel, including high-end cashmere and trending fashion collections, but also accessories of all types—bags, shoes, and Tuscan textiles. Families searching for home linens and decorative items will not be left out, as numerous stalls will offer quality goods to meet every need.
On March 2nd, the attention will shift to Lainate, where the market will set up along Viale Rimembranze and Via Don Gaetano Garzoli. Local officials are optimistic about this collaborative effort. “The quality of the Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi aligns perfectly with the caliber of our local retailers,” commented Angelo Crespi, the Lainate city councilor for commerce, adding the importance of showcasing the area’s attractions like Villa Borromeo Visconti Litta to attendees.
Visitors can expect the same festive atmosphere filled with colors and the irresistible appeal of artisanal goods. Lainate’s event promises not only to showcase the finest products but also to encourage local businesses to join the festivities. Merchants will extend their hours to enrich the market experience.
Consistent with their high standards, the Ambulanti di Forte dei Marmi market has clear guidelines—“Imitations and subpar imitations are banned by statute,” Ceccarelli noted, reassuring customers about the authenticity they will experience. The goods on display will reflect genuine craftsmanship and trending styles often highlighted by fashion blogs and magazines.
Both events promise to be irresistible opportunities for those craving unique shopping experiences. Attendees can also keep updated on future markets and events through their official website, www.gliambulantidifortedeimarmi.it, which also links to various social media platforms.
The Forte dei Marmi markets are more than just shopping stops; they encapsulate the spirit of quality Italian craftsmanship and community.
