Rome is full of vintage treasures, if you know where to look. From tiny shops packed with jewelry and one-of-a-kind finds to beautifully curated boutiques specializing in designer pieces, the city has something for every kind of vintage lover. You’ll find them scattered across the city, but some of the best are in Monti, the neighborhood next to the Colosseum and Rome’s unofficial vintage shopping hub. These are some of our favorite places to start.
