We will start with this famous place called “Galleria Alberto Sordi“. This mall is dedicated to the famous Alberto Sordi. 

If you are wondering who he is then let me help you. He was a famous Italian comedian, actor and composer, singer, and also writer. A very talented one! I bet that every roman and Italian knows him! Try and ask randomly!

A little trick

Before a journey into  a shopping center always check their timetables before living. Usually you can reach them by underground very easily so you won’t have problems!

Avoid visiting them on a rainy day or during weekends. Because if it’s a rainy day and italians don’t know what to do, they surely like to spend a lot of time inside a mall. 

But if you feel feerce enough, once there take your time to stroll around and visit all the stores. You will probably find what you’re looking for!
