where can I buy scrap booking supplies in Italy?
hi, I am going to visit Italy next month and I am planing to see Venice, Florence and of course Rome. this will be my first visit to Italy. I just start to making scrapbooks with my photos, so I really want to purchase scrapbooking supplies from Italy, which I can not find in my country. I will be very pleased if somebody tell me where I can find scrapbook stores in Rome?
I just spent four months in Rome, and while I'm an avid scrapbooker here in the States, I found very, very few options over there. The cartolerie are great for oohing and aahing over bits of stationary and paper; of the ones I visited frequently, there's one just to the right of the Pantheon (though it's aimed and overpriced for tourists) and one in Trastevere. (I lived in Trastevere; I highly suggest wandering around those streets until you're so lost you stumble on something wonderful, like the cartoleria over there.) The cartolerie in Firenze are amazing! That's one of their specialties. There's a great one across the river, but I can't remember specific details as I only visited once. Check the market; some shops offer goods there. Have fun!

Go in any "Cartoleria"; very easy to find even in most supermarket and any superstores.

Last March I visited the very same places your going. While I wasn't in Italy very long I did see alot…. except scrapbook stores! I don't know where you live but I do know there is a fair amount of Italy items available in the scrapbook world. I wouldn't spend time looking for scrapbook items while there; instead taking in all else that Italy offers! Shop online when you return
HTH!
