In Italy to Shop!

Ever wondered how every Italian seems to own a stash of fine merino wool Prada knitwear, a Ferragamo bag and a whole host of designer footwear and eyewear? How do they afford it?

What you lack, but what every style-conscious Italian knows, is exactly when and where to shop for bargains. Time your trip right and pick up designer fashion for a snip of the usual price at the annual sales (saldi) in January and July. Discounts start at 30% and increase to 50% as the sale goes on, but get there early if you dont want to be left with the oversized, ill-fitting, odd-coloured items that have been rejected by the rest of the shopping fraternity. At other times of the year score at the big city flea markets or head for the discount outlets in Lombardy and Piedmont.

Why Go?

Pinch yourself, and you might expect to awaken from this dreamscape of pink palaces, teal waters and golden domes. Instead youre in Venice, and all five senses never felt so alert. Gondoliers call Ooooooeeee! round canal bends, nostrils flare at fresh espresso wafting from 250-year-old cafes, mouths water at cascades of purple artichokes on Rialto market stalls, and everywhere constantly water gently laps at your feet.

Scan the Veneto coastline, and you might spot signs of modern life: beach resorts, malls and traffic. But look closer and youll discover Brenta Riviera villas opening to the public, and newly restored masterpieces being unveiled: Titians and Veroneses in Venice, Palladios and Tiepolos in Vicenza, and Giottos in Padua.

This calls for a toast with bubbly local prosecco (type of sparkling wine) or cult wines from Valpolicella and Soave. Elsewhere in Italy, cin-cin (cheers) will do but in Veneto, raise your glass to la bea vita (the good life).
