Everything is easily accessible and the store personnel are helpful and pleasant. Well-stocked, you'll find what you're looking for at this store. Particularly nice range of pads in different formats --long and square shapes, large and small. As a traveling artist I was happy to pick up some small sketches books and blocks of Fabriano paper. Serious level of stock, a lot of Maimeri, Old Holland, Le Franc and Bourgeois paints. Seek and ye shall find.

Not a "craft store" like we have in the states, but an art store. The staff are extremely knowledgable. I don't think they have much English, so you'll need to get by in whatever Italian you can manage.

If you want to feel like you've walked into a magical storybook with the aroma of fresh leather…read morebound books, notebooks, wax stamps, letterhead, and so much more, Cartoleria Pantheon DAL 1910 is the one shop you must stop at. This shop is perfect to get your next yearly calendar, stationary or anything else your day-to-day requires; however, I recommend this shop as well for gifting purposes. Down the same road is a mainstream stationary shop which many people are quite aware of; however, it doesn't feel as special. On a quiet evening while on a stroll to a fave gelateria of mine (Giolitti), I stumbled upon this shop as I saw a display of wax stamp sealers and the opportunity to create your own. It wasn't until then that I looked up and sure enough I was gravitating inside the shop. I wish I had more time to properly look around the shop but I walked away with a wax stamp boxed kit with my fathers initials and a personalized peacock blue leather bound notebook that I will forever cherish. The owner herself was assisting me and although they usually have a week turnaround time for personalization, when I mentioned I was leaving tomorrow morning she made the exception for me. I'm still in awe of the pieces and can't wait to gift my father his gift later this week. The value and price in itself was very well worth it!!

Though I'd read that Rome's Monti district was hip and very popular, the route I took from the…read moretrain station to my rental apartment didn't convince me: tourist restaurants and tchotchke shops galore. After a few days traipsing to Rome's other districts I was overjoyed to find the heart of Monti and realize it was exactly as I'd read. MercatoMonti was my destination but getting there was the reward. Walking down a street different than that I'd come in on I learned that the area was indeed filled with authentic shops, vintage stores, and intriguing looking cafes, bars, and restaurants. Be still, heart. Sitting amongst all of that is MercatoMonti, a converted parking garage (now part of a hotel) that's used on the weekend as an up-market shopping (non-food/drink) destination. Not a grand affair, but one with maybe 50 vendors, it proved a hugely successful place in which to part with a large wad of euro. Vendors hawked stylish, unique products, much of them hand-crafted. Stylish sunglass frames from the '80s updated with new Ray Ban lenses (90euro), leather/canvas backpack (80euro), a felt coat (70euro), and a camouflage jacket (40euro); clearly I needed to return to my apartment to stow away my bounty. Many of the vendors are "cash only" but there's ATMs nearby. The great thing about MercatoMonti, in addition to the good shopping opportunity, is that it puts you right in the thick of Monti. I'm surprised it's not rated more highly on yelp but I liked it. If you've got the urge to spend, MercatoMonti is a nice, hip place in which to do so.

Quite a nice market, but small and nothing like you would think of a traditional flea European…read moremarket. Mostly lots of clothes and jewelry, some are nicer that others. Merchants are very friendly and the ones I talked to actually were selling their own products. I found the selection to be quite odd however, like handmade kimonos, next to silky scarves, bulky jewelry, urban-style lamps, umbrellas and canvas bags. Prices are low and I did find two great items. Bottom line: great to check out if you are in the neighborhood but I would not go here specifically to see the market.
