Located in Rocchetta (the basement of the Asinelli Tower), this beautiful shop offers nice local craftworks in ceramics.

What to buy: You wont find cheap touristy ceramics here because all items are made in art schools or workshops.

What to pay: Depend on how much one want to spend. Personaly, I hate those cheap souvenirs on market places.

I am not sure about location weather this is via Foscherari or Massei, anyway, the small green market is in one short and narrow street which lead directly to the Piazza Maggiore.
Emilia Romagna is best known for its agricultural production and I was expected to see more favourable prices for fruits and vegetables. However, the prices are higher than those in Veneto or Lombardy!

I love hats but I love also thet the oldest shop will be alive for the future like patrimoni of my town!
Near Barbetti there are another old hats shop.
In this shop u can find new style hats like, the old type and very good, but expensive brand!

What to buy: Two storees dedicate to "vintage restyling", the last tendency of the street style, the art to personalize and re-invent used clothes, adappted to the new tendencies. Made in Italy from the tissues to the working, the clothes are made with regenerate tissues and with handicraft techniques, that donates personality and authenticity to all the articles. For who it wants to be distinguished from the mass, with little prices.

There are some wagons outside the stadium that sell scarves, matchshirts, t-shirts, hats and more and more. Prices are normal, around 5-6 euro for a scarve, 10 euro for a shirt, but don’t forget that everything is non-official souvenirs.

Camaieu is the name of a women's clothes chaine of shops. The philosophy behind these chaine of shops is to sell clotes for girls from 15 to 35 years old. The quality is not at the top but prices are cheap, so sometimes it can be a chance to change often your way to wear.

Whenever you are in Bologna you cannot leave without spending a few hours in Via D'Azeglio: renamed "the living room" by the Bolognese, the street leads to the most important square in the city (Piazza Maggiore) and offers the possibility of taking a timeless stroll in a completely pedestrian area; the elegant atmosphere of Via D'Azeglio is due to the beautiful palaces from the Bologna Renaissance period that act as a backdrop to the most important stores in the city. While you stroll down Via D'Azeglio you can take in a cocktail and friendly conversation or stop in front of the elegant boutique windows. Via D' Azeglio offers its guests a synthesis of Bologna.

The history of Galleria Cavour Building work began on Galleria Cavour after the Second World War, in 1948, and the first shops were completed around 1960. The idea was to connect Piazza Cavour with the Pavaglione loggia with a covered walkway, i.e. "Galleria Cavour". Since the very beginning, the city's best stores have been located there. Now you can find brands such as Bulgari, Cartier, Céline, Christofle, Emporio Armani, Escada, Fendi, Gai Mattiolo, Gianni Versace, Gucci, La Perla, Louis Vuitton, Malo, Sutor Mantellassi, Tod's and Trussardi. It has been internationally recognised as one of the most important shopping streets in the world. Panelled with fine marble and red granite, it successfully combines the idea of the American shopping mall with European elegance.
