Balon del Sabato

Balon del Sabato is a flea market in Turin's Borgo Dora neighborhood with around 300 stalls spread across multiple streets. The stalls display antiques, vintage items, second-hand goods, and handmade products for shoppers to browse.

The market was founded in 1985 and became an established trading point in Turin. It continues a long tradition of outdoor commerce in the Borgo Dora area, which has served as a center for craft and commercial activity.

The market draws collectors and enthusiasts who gather to examine and exchange rare finds. This reflects the neighborhood's role as a meeting point for people interested in preserving objects from the past.

The market operates on Saturdays from 8 to 18 and has free entry with covered sections for rainy days. Arriving early is advisable to see the best selection, and wearing comfortable shoes is important since there is much ground to cover.

The Cortile del Maglio is a special section featuring collections of paper artifacts and other rare items. This area offers an experience distinct from the typical flea market stalls and holds particular interest for those who collect paper ephemera.
