This store is located in the city center and has a great selection of school and business supplies…read more I really fell in love with the leather products. They had everything from man bags to leather bound art pads. I really loved one of the leather bound books that had nice stock paper inside and an antique looking latch to close the book. My husband and I have been looking for a good guest book for our new home and I think I've found the one that I want in this store. They also had gift wrapping paper and cards for all occasions. The staff was very friendly and ready to accomodate in English as much as possible. I would reccommend stepping inside if only just to smell the leather and take a peak at what they have to offer. I will be sure to post a photo of the book upon my return.

The "Nephew" was working late in his shop and I took note to return. We came back the next day (on the way to the Peggy Guggenheim Gallery) and found a very nice hand bound journal with numbered pages and Venice-accented drawing. There was a lot of other original paper products within (and at Uncle's shop next door which was closed at the time), and I wish we had more time.

Tacchi Luigi is located "Up the Hill" from the Bellagio water front. It is also known as "Bottega…read moredel Legno", and is apparently one of the oldest shops in Bellagio. It has been founded and managed since 1855 by the Tacchi Family. They specialize in various hand-carved wood items, including a very unique olive wood dish that I purchased. The selection is extensive and I thought that the floor view port (to some historical thing I'm guessing) and the wood working shop in back were pretty cool. The Family member helping me didn't win any awards for engagement, although Gayle thought he warmed up a bit as time went on. At the same time, he gave me some good tips on taking care of my piece and wrapped it for its home journey really well.
