Shopping

When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton came to visit and to call on Gore Vidal, she also visited Cammeo, Piazza Duomo 9 (tel. 089-857461), where owner Giorgio Filocamo designed a coral brooch for her. He can make one for you, too, or sell you any number of pieces of jewelry in cameos and corals. In the back of the shop, he has collected his most treasured pieces, all worthy of a museum.

Brothers Marco and Piero Cantarella are waiting for you at Ceramu, Via Roma 58 (tel. 089-858181), where they'll sell you mosaics in majolica, and garden tables with wrought iron or mosaic-bordered mirrors with wood.
