Secondhand Gattara
Ciao and welcome to Secondhand Gattara!
I’m Kathy, an avid thrifter, vintage lover and lifelong learner. In 2024, my husband and I (plus our cats) left the U.S. for a simpler, more peaceful life in rural northern Italy.
Join me as I wander through flea markets, antique shops and thrift stores in Piemonte and beyond, in search of unique treasures and the stories they tell about Italian culture, history and everyday life.
Here you'll find vintage hauls, secondhand style inspiration, slow travel adventures, beautiful landscapes and architecture and, of course, plenty of cats.
P.S. “Gattara” means cat lady in Italian!

Ciao a tutti! I’m currently in the US visiting my family but I’ve got a few flea markets on deck for when I return, including a very special one in France! A presto! ❤️🇮🇹

Ciao a tutti! My new video will be up this evening at 8:00/20:00 (Italy time) and 2:00 pm (EST). We return to a vast mercatino dell’usato near Lake Viverone and I discover a hidden treasure trove of vintage & original art. I hope you like it! ❤️ Kathy
