Avoid peak periods, which are usually on weekends – Saturday and Sunday, from lunchtime around 12:00.

But how were malls born in Italy?

Called the “centro commerciale”, malls in Italy began to become popular in the 1970s, nearly 30 years after they became a US sensation. This “selling machine” was born in the USA at the hands of the architect Victor Gruen, in the early 1950s. Find out here what to do in Rome when it rains.

That’s when mass consumption began to gain strength and shopkeepers liked the idea of “concentrating” theirs stores in one space. However, there was a lack of structure and, thus, the idea of creating a place with parking, a variety of products and, why not, a food court? I don’t even need to say which formula worked, right?! And thus, malls were born!

Without further ado…

Golden tips for shopping in Rome

Is it worth shopping in the malls of the Eternal City?

It depends! If you take the sales period – from the first business day before Epiphany (January 6th) to March 1st, and from the first Saturday of July to the end of August – it could be VERY worth it! And yes! Sales in Italy are excellent and offer discounts of up to 70%! Remembering that, it is obvious that during these periods, the malls are crowded with people, and you will not always find what you are looking for, but it is worth taking a walk there!

Good to know…
During the sale period, some stores do not allow exchanges, so – if you want to buy clothes: try the item you intend to make sure it fits!

Are the prices the same as in USA?

It also depends on what you’re looking for. Some Italian brands already have stores worldwide, but it is good to remember that some of them do not have the same price in some countries. My suggestion: research what you want to buy; check if the value practiced in your country is the same practiced in Italy, if it is, it’s not worth leaving there to buy here, right?!
