A new event for Fornoli took place last Saturday. It was the mercato delle pulci, otherwise known in English as the flea market. The brainwave of the indefatigable Marco Nicoli, journalist of ‘La Nazione’ and events impresario, the market got off to a good start in excellent weather now that the climate has become so much more bearable after the hottest summer spell we’ve had for almost fifteen years.

Marco promises the market will take place the first Saturday of September and I wish his venture all the best of luck. Certainly there was a goodly variety of items for sale from all ages and for all ages.
