Rome Shopping

  1. Galleria Alberto Sordi

    Opposite Piazza Colonna, where the Galleria Colonna used to stand, is the Galleria Alberto Sordi shopping centre. Named after Rome's favourite actor, who died in 2003, the small but elegant arcade houses some interesting shops, such as Jam Store, Zara, AVC, Feltrinelli, Coccinelle, Gusella and the Bridge, as well as a café - ideal for a quick and cool coffee break.
