There are traditions that we have to honor without making any changes over time; others traditions may acquire, due to technology, further prestige without losing their own value. Today this market isn’t only a fair, but is an authentic immersion into the atmosphere of a medieval village, since the trades are almost identical: in Piazza del Campo<\/strong> you’ll meet goldsmiths, tailors, antique dealers, tanners and glassmakers. Furthermore there will be the enogastronomical area with wine, olive oil, chocolate, honey and cold cuts.<\/p>\n This year, those who visit the market will help to revive the tradition by telling it on social networks and joining in a contest: who will post on Instagram the 3 best pictures of this event with the hashtag #mercatonelcampo<\/strong>, will become the ambassador of Siena’s handicraft and the pictures will be the cover images of the official Facebook Page.
\nOne of the events that forecast Christmas in Siena<\/strong> is Mercato nel Campo<\/strong> (Market at Piazza del Campo), a Medieval handicraft market that in the XIV century was the beating heart of the local commercial activities.<\/p>\n
\nThe stands will be 140 and will be open on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, a nice chance to make gifts and take advantage of the weekend to come to Siena.<\/p>\n
