Shopping Rome - From Piazza Fiume to Viale Libia

Another itinerary to follow to get an idea of the infinite shopping possibilities in Rome is the one
starting at Piazza Fiume, where the Rinascente building stands (non-stop hours from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.),
built in 1957-61 after a design by Franco Albini and Franca Helg.

From here we start a long route along Street Salaria (Cerasari at no. 280, one of the most well-furnished food shops) which leads us to Street Po, where there are numerous good clothing, shoe, food, housewares and appliance stores.

Continuing along the Street Tagliamento, worthy of note is the Gentilini bakery, an old firm very well known especially for the production of excellent biscuits (cookies), which are a true classic in Rome.

Continuing or walk, on Street Nemorense another sweet-tooth appointment is a Cavalletti, which produces, among other things, an exquisite "millefoglie" Also on Viale Eritrea there is an excellent pastry shop: Romoli, very popular during the day for its ice-creams and sweets, and at night for ic hot, just-baked croissants. On the same street is the well-furnished Eritrea bookshop, a meeting place or the quarter.

We thus arrive at Viale Libia, the first "green street" in Rome, closed to private car traffic, one of the City's most commercial streets. There are shops of all kinds, including Frette, selling quality linens, La Cicogna for children's apparel, and Gennaro, offering very fine hand-made leather goods.
