MOON -- A newish little shop that offers lovely silk and linen

that French certain well-dressed but casual style. At this shop, the

RACHELE
-- This children’s shop is on such a tiny vicolo, we only stumbled
into it by happy accident. The
wares are all fashions for the 'under nine' set, and all are made especially
for the store — most of them by Rachele herself, who has set up
her workshop there. Look for overalls in adorable fabrics, sweatshirts,
pants and skirts. And don’t miss the colorful hand-crocheted hats.
Vicolo del Bollo, 6/7 (off Via del Pelllegrino) tel. 06.6864975 (near
