Remember that on the fourth Sunday of the every month the antique market takes place just a few steps away from Palazzo Passerini in Piazza Signorelli from 9.00. The market hosts about 50 exhibitors.

And don’t forget Ferragosto 12th-15th August! Ferragosto is celebrated on 15 August across Italy and originates from the ancient Roman festival Feriae Augusti, established by Emperor Augustus. Initially set on 1 August, this day marked a rest period following weeks of agricultural labour. Today, Ferragosto is a beloved public holiday filled with festivities, feasts, and time spent with family and friends, honouring its historical roots of rest and celebration.

Come and stay at Palazzo Passerini in the heart of Cortona and enjoy these wonderful festivals in Tuscany!
