Where do Italians shop?

Answer 1

Italians tend to do their shop in their immediate neighborhoods. They tend to buy necessities and extras from local pharmacies that carry everything from postage stamps to over the counter medicines. They tend to buy fresh foods from local and open air markets. They tend to buy their clothing from specialty shops, such as boutiques.

But that's changing. More and more, they're turning to the department store style shopping that's becoming more common and more popular throughout the Italian peninsula and islands. That's a change that's taking place in terms of clothing, food, and other necessities.
