Department stores Italy

Rather impressive, this shopping center, inaugurated in 2002 in Lingotto, on the site of the former Fiat factory. The rehabilitation of the first car models' fitting track gives the architectural complex a great originality. The famous elliptical ramp is now lined with shop windows, dozens of stores and services, multiple restaurants (lunches and dinners), movie theaters and a parking lot with over 4,000 spaces! Even if you don't plan on shopping, a visit is a must!

The superb glass roof of the former Colonna Gallery is a small Art Nouveau jewel built before the 1920s for the Roman bourgeoisie. Completely renovated in 2003, it was named after the famous actor Alberto Sordi who died the same year. The gallery houses major international ready-to-wear brands, the Feltrinelli bookstore and a chic café for a cappuccino break in all-Italian elegance.There are also the clothing stores La Rinascente and Zara. You can have a coffee or a light meal in Trevietritone.

Beware of appearances, Manarola's small convenience store sells delicious focaccia, as well as excellent regional products. At the back of the store, don't hesitate to ask for some slices of raw or white ham, or pieces of local cheese to stuff your sandwich before attacking the hiking trails! Of course the prices are quite high, but the small shop has the monopoly in Manarola! It's a pity, however, that despite the success and the tourists, the friendliness of the owner is not always there.

At the intersection of Tuscolana Street and Palmiro Togliatti Street, it is a large, multi-function business structure. The centre has over 100 stores, supermarkets, large stores, restaurants, free services and cafeterias, bookshops, etc.

This is another chain of well-known stores of the fashionistas, a four-storey temple dedicated to clothes and shoes for man, woman and child.

This department store is a must: its shelves feature all the gastronomic specialities produced in the region, thanks to close collaboration with around 170 local farmers, producers and breeders. It offers exclusively quality products from South Tyrol: meats and charcuterie, cheeses and dairy products, fruit and vegetables, breads and flours, ravioli and canederli, wines, fruit juices, jams, honeys and beers. On-site tasting of wines, pastries and fresh fruit juices.
