Here's what happened to this poor ol' geezer who tried to sell off a few of his treasured books in order to make ends meet...

Yeah, go beat on the pensioners who try to make ends meet instead of checking if people drive drugged/drunk, with no insurance and worn out tyres.........

Exactly .. not to mention the usual tax dodgers not issuing receipts or whatever for goods and services.

If the car boot is organised by an 'associazione' its legal - but you cannot sell anything new. You will have to join the associazione and pay a fee for each time you attend the flea market - thats the only way they can legally work.

There is actually an opportunity in Modena for kids & their parents to sell their old toys & books. It's normally held 3 or 4 times a year,next to the normal market on a Sunday morning; you have to register but it is free to participate. Google 'mercantingioco'.
I approached my son's scuola media PTA (Comitato dei Genitori) & they are considering having some 'table sales' where you pay for a table & sell what you want : the rent from the tables will help the school's fundraising efforts.
