Thrift Store Shopping in Italy again / Di nuovo shopping nei negozi dell'usato in Italia

This week I thought it would be fun to take you with me to find a new thrift store in Campobasso. I found out about this place from a new friend we met here in our expat Molise facebook group. This could also be a drinking game for every time I say the word find. I also wanted to thank all our followers for their positive comments and likes to our videos. We hope you enjoy it.
Questa settimana ho pensato che sarebbe stato divertente portarvi con me a trovare un nuovo negozio dell'usato a Campobasso. Ho scoperto questo posto da un nuovo amico che abbiamo incontrato qui nel nostro gruppo Facebook per espatriati del Molise. Questo potrebbe anche essere un gioco da bere per ogni volta che dico la parola trova. Volevo anche ringraziare tutti i nostri follower per i loro commenti positivi e i Mi piace ai nostri video. Speriamo che vi piaccia.

Thanks for sharing! If you go to Abruzzo, there is an open air flea market called "L'antico riggatiere". It is THE most amazing place. You need to go in daylight as there is no electricity, and it is huge. Make sure you call first and ask if owner is there (Tamerlano). I bought lots of pieces this summer from him and cant wait to go back but you need to be open minded! Spider webs everywhere!

[@sfstucco]

Nice of you to post your find. Do you know the town it is located in? [EDIT: I looked it up. It’s in Chieti. 👍]

[@TamtamShops]

Dirt you can clean. to find amazing deals I would wade thru the mud LOL. Loved this video!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

OMG, That sounds perfect for me! Love those type of places. I am definitely looking this up. Thank you so very much!!!!

[@luzinparis]

@@ouritalianadventures6190 Enjoy! Also, if you have a codice fiscale you can get the discount card for all the "Mercantino dell' usato". I bought gorgeous chandeliers at Sambuceto one near Pescara Airport. Non vedo l'ora di tornare !

[@julsatmidnight]

That carved piece would immediately go home with me. Drop dead gorgeous!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Right? I wish I had room for it. It was so beautiful and so cheap.

[@natalie7675]

Love the thrift stores❤ yes more please...I'm looking to move there myself next year 🤞

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

More to come! I need to find some other ones yet.

[@claudialaurendeau2865]

Thank u so much. This was a fun thing to see what a thrift shop is like in Italy.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

You are so welcome.

[@juliechartier8689]

I enjoyed watching you shopping trip. I love buying second hand items. I’d love to see more of your thrifting adventures.❤

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I found some good deals this day. I am still polishing the silver lamp. More to come.

[@gladysfurey2981]

That was satisfying 🌺❤️🌺

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Glad you enjoyed it. I need to go see the new space now.

[@TamtamShops]

This video brought me home. Ok Geneva but how I loved the flea markets. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure. Tammy from Myrtle Beach

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@kellyoconnor9024]

I would love to see more thrift shopping. Great finds today! I love the green wine bottles they had.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I have a bunch of those wine bottle from the previous owners here. I love them.

[@kathleencascino3694]

Enjoyed shopping with you. Take us along on more thrift shopping trips.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Glad you enjoyed it. Will do. More to come.

[@CasandraCats]

Yes please love going antiquing

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

More to come!

[@SusanMetelsky]

I loved the brass sconces!!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I know, they were in perfect shape also.

[@janinecorletta1737]

That was fun! An excellent find! Loved the pieces you picked..those sunnies are perfect! 😃 thanks for sharing and also very happy to hear you and Ben are helping people connect with family..doing the good work, as per usual! ⭐️💛

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Had to have those fun sunglasses.

[@user-owcaco]

Great find! Thank you for taking us with you.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

You are so welcome. More to come.

Hello!!! This video popped up in KZbin and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. I watch second hand shopping influencers and thrifters and do some second hand shopping myself in Sicily, in the day markets though; a lot of fun, for me it’s like a treasure hunt! I am from the US born and raised in a Spanish family who married a Sicilian 27 years ago. I visit my family in US twice a year and they visit me here whenever they get a chance. I hope to meet up with you all sometime so if you’re in Sicilia please reach out, and if I am in the Molise area I’d certainly reach out. Thank you and take care!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks so much. We were in Sicily this past spring. We loved it. It's so beautiful. Check out our videos on the trip.

[@itsmetaran]

Lovely place!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you. I really liked it.

[@clairevagonis1873]

You should a picture of a painting. I don’t know if it was a painting or a print of Big Eyes I would love to know if it’s real there was a movie about the person that painted them and everything they were popular in the 60s and 70s.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I was wondering also if it was real.

[@bt-bv5tj]

I heard them saying that they are moving near/in front of the supermarket "eurospin". Cheerio.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

OMG, thank you so much. I was trying to figure it out. That is a great help. Thank you so much.

[@luciollelsa]

At 16:08 the framed dragoons looked enticing and affordable, I wish you showed or tell more prices. Nice video, the only downside is too much driving shots.

[@ginniedio1860]

One picture was for 6,79€. 😊

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I get nervous trying to see everything, film it correctly, show the prices since I am a one man production team. LOL. Some places don't mind video but some do. I need to learn how to ask in Italian. I'll try to show more prices in the future. I'm not a fan of driving shots but a lot of people like to see also the area so that's what fast forward buttons are for.

[@luciollelsa]

@@ouritalianadventures6190 When I need to learn a new language I find it much simpler if I write down the words and sentences I might want to use and memorize, it makes it easier to learn. Reading and writing helps a lot, especially if the language use the same alphabet.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

@@luciollelsa That definitely helps. I started doing that. I need someone to help me with pronunciation. I have such a hard time rolling my R's.

[@mariademasi1760]

Wonder if they have vintage markets in Sicily

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I didn't see any when I was there but I bet they do in the bigger cities.

[@lauriesquires5924]

Slower panning and better description + either showing or telling us the price would improve dramatically

[@avalondreaming1433]

I think he did a good job both saying and showing the prices.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

It's not easy doing every thing yourself on a Iphone. I get nervous trying to see everything, film it correctly, show the prices since I am a one man production team. LOL. It tough to hold the phone and see the price and describe it. I'm trying my best.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you.

[@patriciarock6894]

It would sure help if you could share the prices of things. I’ve never been to Italy and would love to know how their prices compared to ours in the states.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Hi, I am thinking of doing a video on prices. Do you prices for items in the thrift stores or everyday needed items? I try to show some prices when I do the thrift store videos but will try to do more. I get so nervous trying to talk, film and see everything being a one man production team. LOL.

[@kwp1977]

I don’t know how it was there but here in torino,these mercantino dell usato are ridiculously overpriced

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

It truly depends on the item. Sometimes I think that's a lot for that piece and then I find something that I can't believe how cheap it is. Luck of the draw I guess. It's still fun to look though.

[@portialipton]

You have to stop saying NICE all the time.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Nice comment...

[@damiendoyle9948]

What a great Shop. My wife and I loved fossicking in shops like that. 🦘

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I do too. This was a good find.

[@sheilakethley5351]

After watching hundreds of property tours I’m afraid of all the grandmother doilies I see get left behind!🥲

[@sfstucco]

Me too. People don’t understand the skill and value of things made by hand in the past, and they throw things in the trash instead of giving them away.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

LOL. There are a lot. We also have an entire bag filled with ones from Ben's mom and grandmother. I need to figure out a way to make something with them so they just don't sit in a bag.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

The workmanship is amazing. I'm trying to think of something I could make with them.

[@sfstucco]

@@ouritalianadventures6190 - Hey- it just occurred to me… my mom (no Italian heritage on her side), a couple decades ago, used to make doilies into Christmas ball ornaments. I think she would dip them in glue or a paste of some kind, then lay them over small, blown-up balloons (??), let them dry, then pop & remove the balloons. But it seems to me like they would stick to the balloons. 🤔 I don’t know enough about the process, but maybe you can find something about them on the internet. 🤷‍♀️ I liked how they looked. I think she tended to use them in table-top decorations, rather than have them hang from the tree. Anyway, there are probably lots of suggestions out there for what to do with them. Good luck!

[@clairevagonis1873]

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I know! My friend Ed in America bought two real ones off ebay. I don't know how to tell if they are real or not. I'll try to ask him and see if I would be able to tell the difference between real and reproduction.
