Rinascente

Italy’s most prestigious department store doesn’t let the fashion capital down. Come for Italian diffusion lines, French lovelies and LA upstarts. (While it makes convenient one-stop shopping, there’s a disturbing disjunct between the swirling department store frenzy and the superluxe price tags.) The basement hides an amazing homewares department (Guzzini to iittala, and Italian-mama pots and pans for a steal) as well as a tax-back office for non-EU citizens. Up on the 7th floor, the Food Market will both feed you and tick gift to-buy boxes with its edible souvenirs, top-notch casual dining and gob-smacking views of the Duomo.
