The story

Is it better to go to the seaside or the mountains? The ideal is a trip to Ovada, a pretty little town wrapped in green hills a short distance from the Genoese coast. Here, in the heart of the Alto Monferrato, there is no shortage of things to do even this summer, and besides the outings and hikes along the area's romantic trails, you should not miss the events organised by the Pro Loco of Ovada and of the Monferrato Ovadese, which every year enjoy great success.

On Ferragosto, Monday 15 August, the Antiques and Second-Hand Market will return to the streets and squares of the old town. The many colourful stalls will crowd the little streets from the first light of dawn until evening, displaying antiques, jewellery, prints, books, knick-knacks, mid-century items, furniture and collectibles.

On Saturday 27 August, on the other hand, the Ovada in Festa event returns with music, shows, stalls and tastings.
