The experience here was not that great. It's not because of the selection of books and other…read morereading materials available or the fact that there are lifesize displays of anime and superhero characters on the upper floor, it's because of the rude staff who, instead of letting me know in a polite way not to sit on an empty floor shelf, raised her voice and used gestures to suggest that I leave the store. I was with my family of 5 and instead of letting them shop there and give them our business, we headed for the exit and vowed not to come back. Luckily we found another Mondadori somewhere else and did not encounter any rude staff working there.

Very interesting store. At first I thought it was just a book store, then I walked to the top and…read morerealized it was a lot more than I had expected and ended up staying for a good amount of time. There are 4 or 5 floors. Each bullet will represent a floor - Basement and cant remember what is here. - Books - Stationary items and misc things that we would find in Chapters that arent books. I hope that helps a bit in what is on this floor. - Electronics - I want to say CDs, DVDs, etc - Kitchen appliances and various other kitchen supplies and utensils.

The shop was established in 1881 and Francesco, who was very kind and helpful to us, is the 4th generation owner -- a very long ancestry is rooted in this establishment. The service was impeccable and Francesco was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of all the products. Most of the souvenir items such as pens and journals are located on the ground floor, but the basement has the most interesting items: authentic antique paintings, globes and maps. I would definitely recommend stopping by the shop when you're visiting Milan.
