The Civilized Shopper's Guide to Rome
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
With this small and discriminating book as their guide, visitors find themselves strolling down cobblestone back streets that only native Romans know well. Nine walks direct shoppers and window shoppers alike to unique stores—jewelers, stationers, clothiers, grocers—that uphold the Italian standards of quality, craftsmanship, and creativity. The walks also include cultural and historical information as well as dining recommendations.
