Whilst in Rome, I happened upon the most amazing stretch of antiques shops on one particular road. It was a narrow, mostly pedestrian way, taken mainly it seemed, by priests on their way to lunch. I cannot seem to remember the name of the street. The only things I can remember about its location is that it was somewhere in between the Pantheon area and one of the bridges that lead to Vatican City (the one nearest the Vatican Museums). Does anyone have a clue as to where it was? I would appreciate any help.

The Via dei Coronari is generally considered the most important street for antiques in Rome. In May, an antiques festival is organized in the area.

For high-end antiques, there are also antiques shops on Via del Babuino between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo.

Does anyone know where in Rome to find "low end" antiques, or just "old stuff"...the equivalent of what would be found in US antique malls?

Many neighborhoods have Sunday (or sometimes Saturday) flea markets. I think that's what you're looking for, but I don't have any specific information.

got to be Via dei Coronari as stated above. very close to the vatican, but closer to Piazza navona and the Pantheon.

missypie, Google "flea markets in Rome", you'll get more information that you bargained for!
