Religious Articles - Where to buy them in Rome and away from tourist area

[Biris]

Hi all,

 

Some people in our group are very much interested in purchasing religious articles while we are in Rome. Looking for recommendations or suggestions of a good place (or two) where the locals shop.

 

TIA

I suspect your group will be visiting the Vatican Museum. There are several shops there. There is also a gift shop in the Basilica. They may not be more expensive than a number of shops in the streets nearby.

On a Trafalgar land tour, my wife purchased a lot in the gift shop of Santa Maria Maggiore. That is one of the 4 major Basilicas in Rome.

 

She also bought some in a Vatican gift shop, but she thought Santa Maria Maggiore basilica gift shop was better.

 

On our European tours my wife purchased most religious gifts specifically in church gift shops.
