Good morning Stefania, please tell us about yourself. Are you originally from Rome?
Good morning Karen. I am extremely keen on sharing the love I feel for Rome, my city and my fondness for shopping in this amazing city with your readers.
My family is from Rome and we have been living in the Eternal City for as long as any member of the family can remember and I am very proud of that.
Rome is the largest open air museum in the world and as a local I love sharing it with visitors who come from all over the world. My philosophy is to provide my guests with the finest vacation in Rome, backed up by my personal friendly service.?
What makes Rome such a popular shopping city?
Shopping in Rome is a marriage in paradise. You have the most famous and desirable designer shops all nestled in a colorful and unforgettable urban landscape made of small alleys, old patrician palaces and unique squares designed by the genius artists Italy is famous for.
In some cities you shop between districts, in Rome you shop between centuries.
Beside Rome is not only for the glitterati who like to splash out on the latest must-have bag. On the contrary the Eternal City has plenty to offer for all tastes and wallets, from chic boutiques to small ateliers and artisan shops that you can only find by taking your time walking the ancient walks of Rome.
Actually the best of the Made in Italy with its sartorial touch can be found here and if you knew whom to ask for you can even find the Pope’s tailor in downtown Rome!
