Cola di Rienzo - A touch of class for this Roman shopping street

If you want to spend an half day of shopping in Rome and some penny that sometimes it's not so bad, then the road of Rome that without doubt I tell you to go is "Via Cola di Rienzo".

This long street that starts from Piazza Risorgimento and finish to Piazza della Libertà is full of shops. Not many Rome guide books mention this one of the best street to do some buying, other shopping streets are more rated as Via del Corso or Via Nazionale, but I am here to suggest something more of the all the same Rome guides that you can find in any library. You want to buy an original gift, for example a beautiful tie refined in design, an excellent italian product.Here you are, you don't buy the famous tie made in china that you find all over the World.

There are many shops of hight level: clothing, shoes, accessories and other beautiful things for the happiness of your ladies. Prices are always in the average not too hight, no worry!

There are shops of Benetton, Onyx, Stefanel, Miss Sixty, Iron G., Diesel, Fellini, Coccinelle, Nara Camicie, Franceschini and many more..

There are also many chic cafes for a Roman aperitivo.

Castroni a food store where to buy fine food typical of Italian Regions in nice packs.

If you want a snack during your walk, next to Castroni there is a shop of takeaway named "Franchi" get in and take a couple of Supplì, they are fried rice meatballs with special ragù sauce inside. Phenomenal, they are too good!! People come to eat from every part of Rome.

Let me know..

Via Cola di Rienzo is near the Metro station of Ottaviano and borders with two other famous shopping streets Via Ottaviano e Via del Corso, for a long long shops tour. Your girlfriend will be happy, don't you? Don't get angry with me, my girl take me there at least once a week (when I'm lucky!).

You will see, Via Cola di Rienzo has a touch of class more than all others Roman shopping streets.
