Colosseum
There are three Mondadori Electa bookshops located at the Colosseum. Their functional, modern design complements the building’s history and structure and they offer visitors an ample variety of publications on archaeology in general and the Colosseum itself.
Given the large number of tourists from every corner of the globe, the bookshops offer books in many languages, multimedia products and various gadgets. From highly-specialised books for historians and enthusiasts to brief guides for visitors who want an overview of the Colosseum and other Roman archaeological monuments, to children’s books, reproductions of antique jewellery, and collectibles for people who want a souvenir of their visit.
Palatine hill, Caracalla’s baths, Villa dei Quintili
The bookshops located in these archaeological areas offer specialised texts, children’s books, museum guides, exhibition catalogues and a vast assortment of objects and stationery inspired by ancient Rome.
