Hello,
back from the trip which was very nice. Unfortunately there was no time to do anything except visit all the ruins and fountains you´re supposed to see when you´re in Rome so the shops will have to wait until next time I´m afraid. I did spot quite a few people wearing Fred Perry though, seems to be a popular brand there. And according to our map there is a Vespa museum somewhere in town, maybe that could be of interest to fellow forum members.
