Borghetto Flaminio in Rome

Borghetto Flaminio is a pleasant flea and vintage market established in 1994 near Rome's Piazza del Popolo. The market was the vision of Enrico Quinto and Paolo Tinarelli, who wanted an outdoor-style sales venue for amateurs in the city similar to the garage sales found in the US.

Every Sunday, the market hosts special boutiques, stalls and cafes, and they're known for selling high-quality knick-knacks, trinkets, antiques, collectables and retro designer accessories. Today, the market’s intended purpose has only blossomed, with an immense variety of goods to come across anywhere you go.
