popular, with the clothes sorted by type (leathers and furs,
jeans, coats, children’s clothes, etc.) and piled on large tables
with everything at the same (low) price. Tables start at 50
cents, and range up to 20 euros for high-quality leather and
fur. It is a huge flea market sells more trash than treasure
but at least you may be able to dig up a little gem that is
something typically Roman. You will really have to fight the
crowds and be prepared to rummage, however it is a fun
Sunday morning out. Best to go early, say 7am. Finishes up at
2pm. Via Portuense, Piazza Ippolito Nievo, take bus 75 or 780,
