It's one of the oldest antiques fairs of Europe and the oldest in Italy. Like for wine, the older it gets the better it becomes. Launched in 1963 and in now its 54th edition, Cortonantiquaria takes place in Cortona from August 20 until September 4 at Palazzo Vagnotti, with around 30 antique dealers participating from all over Italy.
