We continue our journey in the world of vintage, taking a tour of the best shops for vintage shopping in Naples, the heart of Campania.
Everyone knows Naples and Campania for its tantalizing cuisine that includes its world-famous pizza and luscious buffalo mozzarella as well as for the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and the charming nearby islands.

This market is also very popular among professionals such as stylists and costume designers from Cinecittà, who are able to match up the ‘pieces’ (which the market sellers once used to call ‘rags’) to create looks for films and advertising.
