Where to Go Vintage Shopping in Monti, Rome
My loves, as you might know, the sixth of September was my birthday, and I turned the beautiful age of 25. Since me and my blog have the same birthday, it is official now: my blog is also two years old!
Since I am getting older, it is becoming more and more important to me that I wear original pieces, and I try to avoid consuming fast fashion as much as possible. I love apps like Vinted, where you can buy secondhand items, but to me, there is nothing better than strolling along vintage stores, looking for little gems.
Rome, and the Monti neighborhood in particular, has wonderful vintage stores, with both designer and non-designer items. In this article, I will tell you all about my favorite vintage stores in the Monti area of Rome, so when you visit Rome, you know exactly where to go to treat yourself to a wardrobe upgrade.
Where to Find English Books in Rome: 4 Must-Visit Bookstores
I must admit, when it comes to the number of books I read each year, I feel like I might have peaked. In 2023, I read 43 books. In 2024, that number dropped to 17, and so far in 2025, I have only read 5. It’s not that I enjoy reading any less. I have simply spent more time on other hobbies lately, which has left me with a rather sad-looking Goodreads page.
However, it is my goal to start reading more again, so I thought this would be the perfect moment to share my favourite English-language bookshops in Rome. When I first moved to Rome, I was a little afraid I wouldn't find bookstores with a good selection of English books, but over time I found some great spots. If you're in Rome and looking for English books, here are the shops I recommend.
