Sicily, the largest and most populous island in the Mediterranean Sea, is known for its rich culture, arts, music, cuisine and architecture. With a mix of Phoenician, Greek, Roman and Norman influences, Sicily offers a unique blend of traditions and landscapes that attract visitors from around the world.

And it's this very melting pot of cultures that today makes Sicily an exciting location to explore local markets and search for vintage treasures and refined antiques.

From the bustling energy of Palermo's Piazza Peranni flea market to the hidden antique shops (antiquari) tucked away in the baroque alleyways of Siracusa's Ortigia, Sicily offers a treasure trove for the discerning collector. And the vast array of unique finds that are exclusive to Sicily, such as hand-painted Caltagirone ceramic vases, wooden puppets or Pupi Siciliani or delicate Sicily lace linens, will delight interior decor fans.

But navigating these places requires more than just a keen eye. The best discoveries are often made off the beaten path, where a command of the language and an understanding of Sicilian customs are essential for uncovering authentic pieces and most importantly, negotiating a fair price.

This is where our truly unforgettable experience begins. Allow me to provide your personal guide on an exclusive, tailor-made antique and vintage shopping tour. Together, we will forgo the crowded tourist traps and take you directly to the heart of Sicily's hidden gems: the family-run workshops, the private dealers known only to locals and the most promising weekly markets. I will also act as your personal curator, tailoring the day to your specific interests—be it rustic furniture, religious iconography, vintage jewelry or rare books. And I will provide all the information on logistics, from authentication to arranging international shipping for your larger finds.

Let me transform your search for treasures into a seamless and successful adventure, connecting you with the objects and the stories that make this island so magical.
