  • Shoe and leather accessory shops

  • Perfumeries and artisanal fragrances

  • Jewelry stores with coral and pearls

  • Via Garibaldi and Via XX Settembre: ideal for quality shopping with fashion stores, lingerie, children’s wear, and home decor.

  • Small artisan workshops selling local ceramics, wooden objects, and nautical items.

  • Historic pharmacies and traditional perfumeries.
