A couple Sundays ago I went to the very famous Fiera del Soco, an ancient fair with 500 years of history that takes place every year in September. It is one of the largest, if not the largest, fair in the region, with 500 stands, 150 exhibitors, and 800,000–1,000,000 visitors every year. I used to go there when I was a little kid with my grandparents and now I'm bringing my little son there.

The stands offer a wide variety of products: from local crafts to innovations in the agricultural sector, such as tractors and combine harvesters, but also commercial and industrial novelties. There are plenty of food stands, in fact, there are tons of them with products from all over Italy and beyond. There are cultural exhibitions, displays, traditional wooden games, a funfair, and shows.

Obviously, with a small child, a stop at the funfair was a must, it's also one of the biggest, with attractions for both kids and adults.

Book stands with books for 3 euros (some originally priced at €10): I bought three, that was such a bargain.

A magical sand picture that, when flipped, slowly reforms itself from the opposite side.

In the end, we basically stayed there all day, enjoying a nice sausage sandwich.
