Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Seek out a secondhand steal at Pifebo, the city’s top vintage boutique. Shelves and racks brim with sunglasses, boots, clothing (including lots of denim), bags and an impressive sports jersey collection, all hailing from the '70s, '80s and '90s. The shop also specialises in rehabbing and restoring leather items, handily returning them to their original splendour.

There's another store in at Via dei Valeri 10 in San Giovanni.
