Cecile
Entering through the all-white storefront in the middle of the historic center, you’ll find yourself in an elegant living room full of gorgeous things.

Piazza San Zeno
Every first Sunday in San Zeno Square there’s a delightful antique market full of knick knacks for an afternoon of browsing. You’ll find everything from gorgeous Tiffany-style lamps and Murano glassware from Venice to old books, vinyl records and antique postcards. As far as clothing, you’ll have to dig through the piles for those truly great budget finds, like used Persol sunglasses and Armani dresses from the 1990s. Other open-air markets exist, and with some luck and a lot of walking it’ll be easy to stumble upon something great.
