Secondhand Gattara

Ciao and welcome to Secondhand Gattara!

Iโ€™m Kathy โ€” a lifelong thrifter, vintage lover, and curious explorer. In 2024, my husband and I (plus our cats ๐Ÿพ) left the U.S. for a simpler, more peaceful life in rural northern Italy.

Join me as I get to know the Piemonte region and beyond, wandering through flea markets, antique shops and thrift stores in search of unique treasures and the stories they tell about Italian culture, history and everyday life.

Expect cozy hauls, secondhand style inspiration, slow travel adventures, beautiful landscapes and architecture and, of course, plenty of cats.

P.S. โ€œGattaraโ€ means cat lady in Italian! ๐Ÿฑ
