Cola di Rienzo

Fodor's Review:

Between Piazza del Popolo and the Vatican, this broad avenue is lined with upscale shops that many Romans prefer to those around Piazza di Spagna because the wide sidewalks and big display windows make shopping easier. The area is frequented mostly by locals. Clothing, housewares, gourmet foods, books, and, of course, shoes and bags, along with a Coin department store – Cola di Rienzo has it all, in a medium-to-high price range in the stores. Street-corner stands, on the other hand, deal in bargain shoes, clothing, and glassware. Near the Vatican at the west end of the avenue, off Piazza Risorgimento, a score of shops sell religious souvenirs, many of them on Via di Porta Angelica. This area is a short walk from the center of town, as well as from the Metro stop Lepanto on line A; you can also take Bus 30, 70, 224, or 913.
