Laura Biagiotti

Designer who has made stylish fashions for women since 1972. In menswear, she uses the soft wool that has earned her the moniker “Queen of Cashmere”.
Libreria Babele

Rome’s first gay and lesbian shop has a selection of books in English, plus information concerning goings-on about town.
Libreria Rinascita

Once the Communist Party’s headquarters, this building now houses a well-stocked bookshop. Every Sunday one section of the store is entirely devoted to children, who are free to play and read.
L’Art Nouveau

Antiques shop devoted to Art Nouveau and Liberty style furnishings, lamps, objets d’art and chinoiserie silk tapestries and gowns.
M Simotti Rocchi

Specialist in Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities, selling everything from coins to vases to statuary at a fraction of the prices auction-goers pay (simple coins or terracotta heads start at around €75).
Macallé

A select range of sporting goods, from skis and snowboards to tents and tennis gear.
Marble and Tile Bottega

This is certainly one of the most fascinating of a nest of authentic workshops. Particularly appealing are the 18th- and 19th-century Neapolitan floor tiles.
Maria Teresa Nitti Valentini

Stunning antique jewellery from the 1800s up to the 1940s are sold here, as well as original brooches based on the design of older pieces.
MAS

MAS stands for “Magazzini allo Statuto ” (“Statutory Warehouses”). Shopping here is like one vast rummage sale. There’s tons of merchandise piled up in bins. But the prices are ludicrously low and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Massimo Maria Melis

This unique jewellery studio wraps 21-carat gold around coins, glass and stones preserved from the Etruscan, Roman and medieval eras.
