Over 50 exhibitors, handcrafted jewelry, vintage fashion, design objects and gourmet finds in one of Rome’s most atmospheric industrial spaces.
On April 11 and 12, Unique Mkt returns to animate the spaces of Industrie Fluviali, in the heart of Rome’s Ostiense district. For one full weekend, the former factory with its industrial charm transforms into a vibrant hub of contemporary creativity, where aesthetic research, craftsmanship, and a culture of beauty come together across three levels filled with atmosphere, from indoor rooms to bright terraces.
With more than 50 exhibitors from across Italy, the market offers a curated and varied route designed for those who love discovering independent brands, artisanal production, and high-quality creative work.

From Contemporary Craft to Independent Creativity
The selection is broad and thoughtfully curated, moving from the world of visual arts, with illustrators, painters, watercolorists, and textile artists, to artistic craftsmanship, with handmade ceramics often produced as one of a kind pieces or in small series, contemporary jewelry ranging from minimalist to richly textured designs, hand poured vegetable wax candles, and design objects created for a refined and sustainable home.
Special attention is also given to the botanical and natural world, with terrariums and plant compositions, as well as to the textile sphere, with tailored clothing, handmade accessories, and leather bags crafted using traditional techniques. Each stand tells its own story, revealing a creative process and an ethical vision shaped by quality, research, and conscious production.
A particularly refined vintage selection will also be part of the event, featuring clothing and objects spanning different decades, from the 1970s and 1980s to rare pieces from the 1940s, chosen for their aesthetic value and their timeless appeal, ready to be reinterpreted and given a new life.
Food will also play an important role, with producers of outstanding gastronomic specialties, including olive oil, honey, lavender, and products from the Tuscia area, bringing authentic flavors and artisanal traditions into the city. On the terrace, a plant based food corner will offer the perfect setting for a lunch break or an afternoon snack, while a second outdoor area, furnished with seating and deck chairs, will invite visitors to enjoy the sun and the relaxed atmosphere of the event.
The exhibition path continues on the lower ground floor where, alongside the stands, visitors will also be able to take part, by reservation at +39 349 5375235, in a Kintsugi workshop led by Florentine artist Gioia Di Biagio. It is an opportunity to discover an ancient Japanese technique that transforms cracks into elements of value, combining artistic practice with a reflection on imperfection.
Unique confirms itself not simply as a market, but as a cultural and sensory experience: a place of encounter and discovery, where visitors are invited to slow down, explore, and feel inspired, entering into a direct dialogue with artisans and their creations.
The Location
Another strong point is the location. Industrie Fluviali is easy to reach by Metro B (Piramide) and Ostiense railway station, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors. For those arriving by car, there is an agreement with two guarded parking facilities about 200 meters from the venue, with a 25% discount dedicated to Unique Mkt visitors.
Unique confirms itself as one of the most anticipated appointments for anyone looking for authentic creations, thoughtful details, and independent realities capable of telling a story through each piece, a story made of passion, vision, and craftsmanship. Entrance is by voluntary donation.
