Ficus al Massimo: Italy's Creative Market Returns to Rome's Circus Maximus (Free Entry)

Inside a museum overlooking the Circus Maximus, contemporary Italian creativity finds a home for two remarkable days. On Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September 2026, from 10:30 to 20:00, Ficus al Massimo returns — a market that turns the halls of the Garum (Museum of Cooking) into a vibrant showcase of the nation's independent talent.

A journey through fashion, design and craftsmanship

This season's edition is thoroughly refreshed, gathering new brands from across Italy. The exhibition route winds through the museum's halls, touching very different worlds: independent fashion and high tailoring, vintage and recyclup, accessories, jewellery, ceramics, illustration, home decor, design — and even stabilised plants and bonsai.

This is no ordinary flea market. The heart of the project is selection: only labels with a recognisable identity, independent production and craftsmanship that tells the value of handmade work, one-off pieces and small runs. Fashion gets special attention, with designers offering limited-edition collections and made-to-measure garments.

Brands not to miss

Among this edition's protagonists, three names deserve an early look.

ONCA is a clothing brand inspired by pre-Columbian cultures, translating primitive motifs into an essential, minimalist aesthetic using exclusively sustainable materials.

Lady Jurassika takes pop art in an unexpected direction: through acrylic, prehistoric giants become contemporary icons with magnetic charisma.

Finally, Minerva is a tailoring project inspired by nature and Roman mythology, producing small runs of customisable garments.

Garum: a museum to discover

The halls of the Garum (Museum of Cooking), at Via dei Cerchi 87, overlook the archaeological area of the Circus Maximus and become part of the experience themselves.

During the market, visitors can also access the museum's permanent collection free of charge: rare books, old printed recipes, utensils and objects linked to the history of cooking.

How to get there

Garum is at Via dei Cerchi 87, a stone's throw from the Circus Maximus, easily reached by metro (line B, Circo Massimo stop) or several bus lines.

📍 Where: Garum – Museo della Cucina, Via dei Cerchi 87, Rome

📅 When: 5–6 September 2026, 10:30–20:00
