Marché Matinée

On the second weekend of October, Marché Matinée in Villa returns. After the success of its first edition, the event moves to Villa Zarri, a prestigious 16th-century residence just outside Bologna. Surrounded by a centuries-old park, this exclusive venue will host the ethical market for ethical people, conceived by Valeria Pirozzi (Relab-Project) in collaboration with Claudia Chiodera (Bechic.bo).

The format blends high-quality craftsmanship with wine culture: 40 carefully selected exhibitors will showcase limited-edition and sustainable fashion, accessories, artistic ceramics, artisanal textiles and natural fibers, leather goods, handmade jewelry, natural cosmetics, artistic candles, kimonos, home décor, macramé creations, and vintage or upcycled furniture.

Alongside them, renowned Italian and international wineries will offer tastings and wine journeys to discover unique flavors and aromas. The program also includes a vintage-style food truck serving traditional Italian dishes, and special highlights such as guided tastings led by Alessio Atti MES with AIES Bologna, as well as The Art of Hosting, with a table-setting contest featuring four finalists from across Italy. An event that celebrates creativity, tradition, and taste, where craftsmanship meets wine to showcase the very best of Made in Italy.
