Siena's 6th edition of the lively Mercato del Campo will reflect the theme of the Italian Pavilion at the Milan EXPO 2015: Feed the Planet with an installation performed by the EstroSi group of artists during the two days of the event. Entitled Mangiamondo (Eat the World) the work will evolve before the visitors' eyes in the Piazza del Campo.
The Fair will take place on the 6th - 7th December 2014 from 8 am to 8 pm and is based on the ancient medieval Mercato Grande, as established in the Siena statutes of 1309. The 150 stall holders will wear medieval costume, while a large area will be reserved for traditional craftsmen goldsmiths, tailors, antique restorers, leather workers, weavers, metal workers and so on.
The best of Tuscany's gastronomy will also be on show for gourmet Christmas shopping opportunities.
Exhibitions include Siena artist Rosalba Parrini's preliminary sketches and documented sources for her creation of the prestigious drappellone for the July 2014 edition of the Siena Palio horse race, as well as the underground Magazzini del Sale (Salt Stores) with the Vinarte (Art, Music and Tastings) event, with musical accompaniments provided by the students of the Siena Jazz school and the Rinaldo Franci Conservatory.
