Antiquaria Padova 2026: the 42nd antiques fair in Padua

Antiquaria Padova opens its 42nd edition in 2026, firmly established among Italy's leading destinations for serious collectors. From 7 to 15 November, Padua's exhibition quarter hosts galleries specialising in high-end antiques, mid-century modernariato, garden and outdoor design pieces, alongside rare book dealers and art publishers. The fair was built around trade: its geographic position links northeastern Italy with Milan, Trento, Bolzano, Austria, Udine, Trieste and Slovenia, making it a practical meeting point for dealers and collectors in search of well-documented pieces. The programme adapts to a shifting audience, from seasoned investors in period furniture to first-time visitors discovering the antiques world. On 13–15 November, the same ticket also grants access to ArtePadova, extending the walk into modern and contemporary art. For out-of-town visitors, staying near PadovaFiere keeps logistics simple: the venue sits close to the historic centre and well connected to the main roads across the Veneto region.
