Rome’s shops are of great interest even to those tourists whose main goal is not shopping, but sightseeing. We have already talked about Roman outlets with their huge assortment and affordable prices, today we will talk about large shopping centers in Rome, where under one roof there are goods of a wide variety of categories - from souvenirs to furniture.
Gallery Alberto Sordi
The gallery, bearing the name of a famous Italian actor and director, is the very first major store in Rome, which opened its doors to customers in the distant 1914. Then this shopping center, located in a historic building on Piazza Piombino, was called Galleria Colonna. For a long time, the Gallery was the most visited store in the city - there was even a political debate during the election campaigns.
But by the 80s of the last century, the interiors of the building were noticeably dilapidated, part of the space was empty, and the number of customers decreased markedly. The city municipality helped restore the shopping center, having found investors who were ready to finance the reconstruction of the building.
Gallery Alberto Sordi - one of the most prestigious stores in Rome
The renewed gallery, which received a new name, reopened in 2003 and quickly regained the status of the most prestigious and respectable store in the Italian capital. Today in the Alberto Sordi Gallery there are many shops and boutiques of famous world and Italian brands, as well as several cafes, in the cozy halls of which you can have a snack, a cup of coffee, and relax from tiresome shopping.
