DK Travel : Rome : The Esquiline and Lateran : Shopping

Archivio Immagini Cinema

If classic Italian movie posters or the Italian versions of Hollywood films interest you, you will spend hours browsing in this unique little shop.
Coin

A fashionable department store, with reasonable prices. It’s mostly clothing, shoes and accessories, but they also carry kitchenware and more general furnishings.
Exotic Foods

One of the few places in the city where you can find Chinese, Thai and Indian spices and cooking pastes.
International Trade Corp

One of many Chinese shops in Rome’s Chinatown. This one specializes in women’s wear.
Jenny Fur

Bargain leather jackets and furs, some of it high quality, all of it made in Italy.
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.
Oviesse

Fairly well-made clothing at bargain prices, plus a large selection of cosmetics and toiletries. This is the largest of several branches of Oviesse in Rome.
UPIM

A mid- to low-range department store that carries clothing, toiletries and practical items for the home.
Via Mamiani Market

Exotic foodstuffs, flowers, clothing, luggage - you can find all that and more around this huge market square. Under the porticoes there are even more stalls to check out (see Via Mamiani).
Via Sannio Market

A good bet for new leather jackets at great savings. Otherwise there is a lot of quite junky fakes, good-condition second-hand clothing, and other miscellaneous items (see Via Sannio).
