Beautiful store and it sells everything, and I mean e-ver-y-thing when it comes to art supplies; sketch books, pencils, paint (oil, water, anything you're looking for), and seriously - if you can't find your art supplies here, I have NO idea where the heck else you find it. If you're an artist, creative, painter or craftsperson, this is where you need to go to. You can spend hours in this shop!
Going in to find different grades of charcoal; spending some time in Rome, I felt my creativity POP and I wanted to pick up my hobby of sketching. I couldn't find it at first and asked one of the people there, but he was very busy and went straight into the back. Ehm, ok... Walked around and found what I was looking for. YAY! Choose a fine 6-pack and an extra sketchbook (I was there anyway, better splurrrrge) and went to the counter. The girl was on the phone, it happens, and I waited. And waited. And waited! She didn't even look at me once and I tried to get her attention. Nope, it wasn't going to happen. So I put everything back and left the store. My artsy creative mood was swiftly thrown into the Tiber, so to speak.
YAY for finding eeeeeeeverything you need. NAY for the service, or, better, lack thereof. read more
