The best fashion and gift stores Italy

Let yourself be guided along 2 kilometers of shelves distributed by knowledgeable vendors on 6 floors to make your choice between the 500,000 works offered. By the way, take a look at the building; although a little austere, it is considered a feat of the rationalist architecture of the 1950 s (architects Figini and Poillini).
