HISTORY OF THE MARKET
TRADITION CAPABLE
OF BEING
RENEWED
AN ALPINE VILLAGE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
The Marché Vert Noël was born in 2008 from a simple and clever idea: to recreate a colorful alpine village in the heart of Aosta, with wooden chalets and a real fir forest, amid music, lights and joy with an evocative
and unique setting. For five editions the Christmas market was hosted in Piazza Severino Caveri, then in 2013 the move to the evocative archaeological area of the Roman Theater. The current unavailability of the archaeological area due to renovation works led to the relocation of the event to Piazza Giovanni XXIII (of the cathedral), Piazza Roncas and Piazza Caveri. For the 2024 edition, the initiative is planned to be held in Piazza Chanoux.

The little Rome of the Alps, as it is known for the quantity and remarkable state of preservation of monuments from Roman times, also boasts splendid religious complexes dating back to the Middle Ages such as the Collegiate Church of Sant’Orso and the Cathedral, numerous museums and exhibition centers, a futuristic Athenaeum in on its way to completion, and a modern cable car that takes 17 minutes from the city center to the snows of Pila.
