Rome, Italy - Recommended Blu-ray retailers.

[Travis Bickle]

I'll be traveling to Italy in May and will be spending several days in Rome. I'm wondering if any members know of and can recommend some Blu-ray retailers in that area. I know they have 'Blockbuster' stores there, any others? Thanks!

no, i was only there once for 4 days, but didnt pay attention to any retail stores. I am so jealous you are going.

See if you can find Casshern on Blu-Ray. It doesn't have English subs but I'm sure it'd be awesome in HD.

There are 2 GREAT music & DVD stores right on the Via del Corso in Rome... Ricordi Media and another whose name I can't remember.... I think they're just north of the Via Condotti which leads to the Spanish Steps. And they're within 2-3 blocks of each other. If you're into Region-2 stuff, you'll go nuts.

We're in a tour, it takes us to Alberobello on the east coast, then down to Crotone (south coast), over to Sicily, then an overnight ferry to Naples then back to Rome. Awesome! I'm totally looking forward to this vacation!

Thanks! I was hoping to get a couple of blu-ray steelbooks there and maybe some other stuff.

It looks like La Feltrinelli has taken over one of the bigger media stores. La Feltrinelli is also a great store that you can find in 2 very easy locations: at the Galeria Alberto Sordi, which is right on Piazza San Silvestro (near the Parliament building, on the Via del Corso, just about 10 blocks south of those other stores I mentioned) and Feltrinelli also has a HUGE store right across the street from the Largo Argentina, the cat sanctuary. Have fun!
