Markets

  • 1 Porta Portese market, Via Portuense. Simple icon time.svgSun 06: 00-14: 00. On Sunday Via Portuense and the surrounding streets are closed to traffic to make room for this large market. Praised by Claudio Baglioni in his 1972 song "Porta Portese", it was born in 1945 as a flea market where you can find the most diverse objects including both new and used clothing, books, records, bicycles, antiques furniture etc. Lately it is much quieter and more popular because there are constant controls on licenses that have made the disappearance of many illegal retailers who occupied further streets and sidewalks and which had made this market a notorious place. A fixed point of reference for Roman life, it is also used as a meeting point for friends who want to take a stroll around the dome. In Cinecittà, in the Don Bosco district, the Porta Portese 2 market was built.
  • 2 Eco-friendly City, Via del Porto Fluviale n˚2, @. Simple icon time.svgSat 17: 00-19: 00, Sun 16: 30-20: 00. The community of Sant'Egidio has set up a market with the same philosophy as the "charity shops" of the Anglo-Saxon countries. Everyone can donate things that are no longer used that instead of being thrown away find a second life with a new buyer and the proceeds from the sale go to charity, in this case to support the activities of the community, especially the work of combating AIDS in Africa. To donate unused objects and things you can go on Thursday and Saturday from 17:00 to 19:00. To buy, however, it is only open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and if you love flea markets and browsing this is the ideal place. The area is divided into three buildings, called "lofts" divided according to the goods on display: furniture, objects and clothing. There is also a "vintage" department which is also open on Thursdays from 17:00 to 19:00. The market is closed in August.
