When it comes to shopping, I prefer smaller specialty stores. I advocate for small businesses, and shopping locally benefits a local business owner and the local community instead of a huge corporation. You can go to small businesses and get personal, one-on-one assistance. The personal touch and the individual attention that comes with shopping at boutiques is a unique experience. Rome has so many shops to explore.
