Fano is famous for jewellery-making, thanks to internationally known craftsmen; the jewels are well-refined and show a skilful mastery in drawing and filigree techniques. The town boasts also a long standing tradition in wood and iron working, glass and metal making; do not forget  papier-mâché making, used for the construction of wagons during the annual Carnival parade.
Since the '80s Fano has been hosting  the fair-antiques market; it is held every second Saturday and Sunday of each month and draws many exhibitors of furnishings, furniture, ceramics, jewelery and religious items.
