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?

If youve fallen for Tuscanys charms, then Umbria and Le Marche will also entice, offering a similar landscape and attractions but in a less hectic form. The soft olive- and vine-clad hills, jagged mountains and ancient towns are all there, but without the incessant crowds. Both regions are proud of their agricultural traditions and have transitioned easily into Slow Food destinations.

Not everything is sleepy and bucolic, however. The Umbrian capital, Perugia, has a surprisingly vibrant student-fuelled nightlife, while Spoletos annual festival brings together some of the finest dance and music performances. In summer, myriad sun seekers flock to Le Marches coast. The mystical peaks of the Monti Sibillini offer all the hiking you could ever want, while labyrinthine medieval villages such as Todi, Gubbio and the religious centre of Assisi inspire visitors to put on their stoutest walking shoes and explore.
