Kaoru, you might try Oviesse, a lower cost store somewhat similar to TJ Maxx. As far as a hair dryer you can get those ay any small electronics/appliance store. They are all over town. You might look for Euronics, a common electronics store. Google and find one close to your accommodation. I’ve taken folks to a small electronics store on Via Arenula near Largo Argentina. Sometimes even the larger grocery stores sell hair dryers.

I always enjoy reading your posts !
Quick question regarding shopping. Does Italy have stores comparable to TJ Maxx or Marshalls that we have here in the US? By this, I mean stores that sell decent quality items at reduced prices (compared to department store prices).

Also, on my trips to Italy I always see many stores selling home goods and small appliances but I’ve never found a store selling hairdryers. What kind of stores sell hairdryers in Italy? Maybe certain pharmacys? Where in Rome would be a good store to visit?

thanks Ron

Great, just what I was looking for. I will definitely stop by the bancarelle. Thanks for the tip, Ron!
