The antiques market in Desenzano del Garda which is held in Piazza Malvezzi every first Sunday of the month (with a break in January and August) is certainly amongst the most distinguished Italian antiques markets. Thanks to the president of the Association Gianni Allemandi. Strict criteria is applied in the selection of exhibitors: 60 stalls and not one more. All the stall-holders are obliged to provide a certificate of authenticity for articles of a certain value, also a group of experts appointed by the Court of Turin inspects the market periodically. Worth mentioning are Russian icons from the XVIII and XIX centuries, sixteenth century books and prints, objects in ivory and late nineteenth century French, German and Italian dolls.
