Cortona Antiques Exhibition

Italy's oldest antiques exhibition runs for two weeks at the end of August and into early September. Around eighty curated dealers fill Palazzo Casali — high-end furniture paintings sculpture religious silver — while a wider street market spills through the centro storico. Non-shopping visitors come for the building access alone.

NotePalazzo Casali is climate-controlled — comfortable even in August heat. Some streets close to traffic.
