I was very disappointed with this place. If you're expecting a bustling flea market that has the same goods as London's Portobello or the Paris Marche aux Puces don't bother to make the trek here on a Sunday morning.
The place appeals more to average Italians shopping for household goods and imported clothes. The only interesting stalls I found were two! One sold vintage magazines from the Il Boom years (50s Italy of the Dolce Vita vibe) and the other was a silver dealer midway along the 3km trek.
The stalls repeat themselves after a while and the place is really a slice of Italian suburbia. Not much touristic appeal!
