Perugia Shopping

  1. Augusta Perusia Cioccolato e Gelateria

    Giordano worked for Perugino for 25 years. In 2000, he opened his own shop, creating delectables from the old tradition, including baci (hazelnut 'kisses' covered in chocolate) from the original Perugian recipe. Handmade chocolate bars come in boxes with old paintings of Perugia - great for gifts - or pick up some of the city's best gelato for yourself.
