Aperitivo on Via della Spiga
Who wouldn't love shopping on beautiful, pedestrianised Via della Spiga,
once the domain of bakeries and now home to Bulgari. But if the cobbles are
making those killer heels pinch, take the back door into the Hotel Baglioni for
a Campari and soda in their
cafe

;
Via Senato 5,
Via della Spiga (back entrance); 9am-1am; San Babila)
. Decked out like a 19th-cen-
tury drawing room, it's a favourite haunt with ladies who lunch.

city as it was during the Napoleonic era.
