Neighborhood: Vatican / Borgo
Frocked priests, colorful Swiss Guards, insistent souvenir shop owners, flag-waving tour guides, and pilgrims from around the world. This is the Vatican and Borgo, Rome's most recognized neighborhood which acts as Vatican City's front yard. Aside from the souvenir boutiques and a few food spots, the only business conducted here is papal. In the daytime, the tiny medieval sector bustles with holy activity, as visitors vie for elbow room, or stand in line for a visit. Once the sun sets, the neighborhood is transformed into a quiet and picturesque hamlet.

A fantastic place to organise a book presentation or small conference. I've presented two of my books there. The staff and Don Serge are always kind and considerate. The boom shop contains the best selection of works on Eastern Christianity in Rome. Also a wonderful selection of icons and icon books as well as original works. The back of the store doubles as a conference centre. Highly recommended!

I was in this shop a couple of times with family members who wanted to buy gifts for their grandchildren. The icons were lovely, but none of the saints in them were identified. Since the point was to buy an icon of each child's patron saint, this was disappointing and resulted in no sales for the shop.

Gentile cliente,
ci ricordiamo molto bene di lei e della sua famiglia. La ringraziamo per la sua recensione e ci dispiace che non abbia trovato quello che cercava ma i santi sono molti e tenere le icone di tutti non è veramente possibile. Prima di tutto perchè non di tutti i santi ci sono le icone e secondo perchè ci vorrebbe uno spazioe espositivo ancora più grande dei nostri 200 mq. Per questo motivo le icone dei santi noi le facciamo su richiesta. Sia stampate che dipinte. Se tornerà a Roma e vorrà contattarci prima saremo lieti di farle trovare le icone richieste, se ovviamente esistono.
