This ancient commercial tradition started around the Abbey of Allsaints in the province of Bari in the XIV century, and was transferred to Valenzano in 1811, approximately half a mile away. The fair has been held every year on the first of November since then. People and traders come from nearby towns and regions in order to buy and sell household articles, livestock, and agriculturall implements.
