Rinascente
DEPARTMENT STORE
Italy's most prestigious department store doesn't let the fashion capital down.
Come for Italian diffusion lines, French lovelies and LA upstarts. The basement
hides an amazing homewares department and a tax-back office for non-EU cit-
izens, while the food market and restaurant are on the 7th floor.

Ē de Padova
HOMEWARES, DESIGN
America's great modernist designer George Nelson called this shop 'one of the
most beautiful in the world' and who are we to disagree? Maddalena De Padova's
excellent eye has held sway here since 1965, and with six floors of great design to
behold, it's a grand alternative to taking in all the showrooms if you're short of
time.
