Mercanteinfiera Autumn 2026: the Parma event
From October 3 to 11, 2026, Fiere di Parma hosts Mercanteinfiera Autumn, one of the international fairs most anticipated by collectors, antique dealers and fans of vintage and design. Nine days of exhibitors, deals and discoveries drawing visitors from across Italy and abroad: having a convenient base for getting around, and for working between one visit and the next, makes all the difference.
Piacenza, a practical base for the fair
Piacenza is well connected to Parma and sits at a short train ride from Milan, making it a practical base whether you’re arriving from the Lombard capital or heading on to other fairs in the area (check the guide to Parma and Piacenza fairs). Staying away from the fair’s bustle, in a quiet historic center, helps you recharge between one day of negotiating and the next.
Roma284 is located on Via Roma 284, just steps from Piacenza’s train station, and offers a private patio to unwind outdoors after hours spent among the stands. Travelers bringing their own pet can do so without a second thought, since pets are always welcome free of charge.
A comfortable work corner, even on the road
Between one scouting round and the next, many exhibitors and buyers need to answer emails, upload photos of items under negotiation or manage bookings online: the apartment’s 1 Gbit/s fiber connection makes these moments quick and hassle-free, turning the stay into a genuine working base as well as a place to rest. Self check-in with smart lock, active from 3:00 PM, lets you arrive whenever suits you without coordinating times with anyone.
Planning your trip
For the trip to Parma, it’s worth planning ahead: the page on getting to Piacenza gathers useful information on trains and connections. Booking directly, moreover, saves you up to 15% compared to other channels.
