Rome's bustling centro storico (historic district) is where the locals go to shop. Via del Corso is a long street lined with shops that is closed off to vehicles on weekends. Via del Babuino and Via Margutta run along the foot of the Pincian Hill and have been renowned for their art galleries and studios since the 15th century. Lastly, Piazza di Spagna and Via Condotti are without a doubt the places to go for all the top names in Italian and international fashion.
