Piazza dei Ciompi between Santa Croce and Sant'Ambrogio is a cosy square that hosts my favourite antique market the last Sunday of every month. The municipality of Florence was about to eradicate the whole market at some point for what ever reason but after one year of campaigning, the future seems to be more secured at the moment, and hopefully so, because this market is one of the greatest things in Florence.
Yesterday, I bought a pair of beautiful earrings that according to the seller were from the late 19th century, ottocento, – and even if they weren't, they are still gorgeous and unique. The whole market is full of stuff I could buy, from furniture to old jewellery (or Playboy magazines from the 1970s with Sophia Loren showing her very hairy private parts). Most importantly, you just enjoy the beautiful and curious objects and the hot autumn sun.
