The Naviglio Grande is the oldest canal in Milan, built in the 12th Century, the stretches between the Darsena of Porta Ticinese and the bridge of Via Valenza (itself particularly drenched in olde worlde charm). Along the canal banks in this section, about 400 vendors gather on the last Sunday of every month to set up stalls selling a fascinating selection of furniture, clocks, porcelain, silver, jewelry, dolls, books and numerous collector’s items, from comics to walking sticks. On market day the adjacent shops, bars and art studios all remain open, adding to the pleasure of browsing.
