Learn In 10 Minutes About Old Stores And Workshops In Rome!
If you want to get the true feeling of an ancient city like Rome, walk through its alleyways and savour the typical dampish smell of its history. Walk into the old greengrocer’s and marvel the colors of the typical Italian tomatoes and vast varieties of veggies. The geraniums on the sills of the tiny windows and the cobble-stoned streets.
Do you enjoy going through old stores, little stalls and workshops? Rome is the place for you! The only thing you have to worry about is your luggage. The tendency is to go overboard and buy just about anything and everything that catches your fancy.
Would you like to visit a very typical suburb of Rome? Visit San Lorenzo! The stone work and marble and statues of all shapes and sizes are to be found there. Not to speak of the very characteristic name signs for old time mechanics. Very Roman in their attitude.
Have you not had the opportunity to use your credit cards? Via de’ Coronari, near Piazza Navona and the Pantheon is the place to go to. See antiques, jewels, prints, carpets and anything else you may wish to give free vent to your fancy.
Is it always necessary to buy? Of course not! Window shopping is just as interesting and as exciting as buying a tiny souvenir. Getting to know Rome is also walking, having an Italian coffee and finding yourself, without realizing it, in front of Via Giulia, one of the most beautiful streets of Rome, that reaches the end of Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
Are you looking for something really special to take back home? There is tiny little shop in Via de’ Coronari that is a collectors’ dream from jewels to old medals, from frames to expensive paintings and whatever may come to your head can be found in Il Collezionista at No 198.
Travelling with children? Get your child’s haircut done in Via Metastasio No 17 where a barber called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will gladly entertain your children on a rocking horse or miniature car instead of the same old chair. Your children will want to come back!
Martina is a well known lady for her ability to fry fish and stuffed zucchini flowers in the real Roman way. How do you get there? It’s half way down Via de’ Giubbonari. It’s called Filettaro, which comes from fillets of fish.
Want a lunch time break? A pizza shop situated between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon serves the most delicious pizza of all times. Especially because you can choose from any possible topping at a very reasonable cost and take it away!
