Via Del Corso

Today a group of us decided to go shopping down Via del Corso. Via del Corso is a main street aligned with quaint shops, restaurants, pizzaria's, gelato stops, ATM's, and side streets. The shopping experience in Rome is quite different than shopping in the States. Some of the shops are small clothing shops or souvenier shops. Except for the Galleria Alberto Sordi. Galleria Alberto Sordi appears to be small shops along the street of Via del Corso. However, upon walking into and out the other side of a store names Zara, we realized that it was a mini inside mall that connected the shops (picture to the left). It is a nice inside area to cool down from the hot sun and heat. The Galleria Alberto Sordi included clothing stores as well as a book store. The ceiling was beautiful as well as the wood architecture in the Galleria Alberto Sordi.

Along Via del Corso there are many small clothing shops, one in which I entered and bought a dress! The stores name was named Sconti which was filled with dresses, shirts and pants. This experience was different than shopping at the King Of Prussia mall. The clothing sales woman was helping me pick out things and try them on for the entire time I was there. The dressing rooms were never able to be fully closed so people could see me changing. Once I got up to the register I showed her my student ID card. She proceeded to tell me there was no discount but she gave me a beaded necklace because I was a student! Sconti was a very nice little story with affordable clothing and the service was very nice. I would suggest the store to many women while looking for a nice outfit for a night out in Rome!
