CountryBred is proud to be featured in Departures Magazine’s “Top Destinations for Antiques” by Anja Mutić. The article focuses on unique locales throughout the world where fans of antiquing can sate their appetite for treasure hunting in the most under-the-radar of spots, from Mumbai and Cape Town to Valparaiso and Viterbo.
With Viterbo, Italy included on the list of 11 destinations perfect for antiquing, CountryBred’s very own Artisanal Italy antiquing tour through Viterbo is a highlight of the article along with a special mention of our Featured Hotel, La Terrazza Medioevale.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:‘Viterbo, Italy. Steeped in history, the town of Viterbo in central Italy’s Lazio region draws antiques aficionados from across the globe to its Piazza dei Caduti market on the third Sunday of every month. The elegant shops in the medieval center, particularly the San Pellegrino quarter, harbor rare pieces like fireplace mantels, volcanic-stone benches, ancient terracotta oil jars and other centuries-old treasures. “Viterbo is a hidden gem for antiques lovers as opposed to the more-publicized antiques markets throughout Tuscany and Rome,” says Marco Marano, CEO of CountryBred (countrybred.com), a custom travel agency that offers antiquing tours of artisanal Italy.’
