What to buy in Italy
 

Are there any great buys/bargains in Italy? What can you get in Italy that you can't get in the US?

Hi X,

>What can you get in Italy that you can't get in the US?<

Nothing. Some things, however, are cheaper.

Olive oil, real balsamic vinegar, dried porcini mushrooms, Reggiano Parmigiano (vacuum sealed), local wines - we like Lachryma Christi, leather goods in Florence, glass in Venice (be careful, a lot of it comes from china).

Gelato ! Required daily

liquers, like apertifs, digestifs that are local and not sold here, and candy bars and fragrance like the Capri Lemocello flavored.

WHERE in Italy? Are you going to Sicily, for example? Where?
