Since my wife and me ll be heading next week for a much needed rest over to Italy, i was wondering if anyone knows any good (vinyl prefered) record shop in Florence and Rome?
If you also know where Tenax and Teatro d espero are (if they still exist) i ll add them to the important sightseeings...

I was there last year but didn't find either venue, nor any record shops for that matter. To be honest, you'll probably be too busy taking in how mindblowing each city is to do much else.
Enjoy the trip!

I was in Firenze in Jan this year, but didn't see a single record shop either.
Italians don't like music. They do however like food, and I suggest you partake of as much munching as you can. I did, and saw that it was good

Get thee to the Uffizi Gallery! You will need a whole day for it, and leave some time for the amazing Da Vinci section at the end

Just for future travelers, i only found a record shop in Firenze, which is near the magnificent Town hall, a very good one. Found nothing in Rome but then again i didn t look that hard...
and the most memorable sights:
uffizi gallery in Firenze
the village of san giminiano with its 7 towers outside Firenze
night walk for hours following the river in Rome
villa borghese in Rome
mindblowing indeed!!
thanks for your help

neon is the early and most famous italian gothic band
the guys that start the shop are ex band members

these are the shops i found on the web, but the only thing you need to do when arrive in Rome/florence, is to ask someone..explaining what you'd like to find(Italians are kind),
..the few vinyls i have are from ROME/PISA/BOLOGNA/PARMA/FLORENCE...but i'm not sure you can find many things in Italy
