goes glam at this old-fashioned shoe shop. It's lined with just- off-the-runway men's and
ladies' footwear from names such as Fendi, Ferragamo, Prada, D&G and Gucci, as well as
bags, belts and leather accessories. It's particularly tempting during the sales.

to Testaccio's daily food market is fun. Occupying a new, purpose-built site, it hums with
activity as locals go about their daily shopping, picking and prodding the piles of brightly
coloured produce and cheerfully shouting at all and sundry.
