Travelling to Italy - Looking for shopping recommendations

[Jsoftz]

Hi all,

I tried searching for this, but with all the Italian clothes it was difficult to parse from all the other threads with "Napoli," or "Italy" etc.

We're travelling next month to Italy, will be making stops in Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice etc. Any places I should be sure to catch from a menswear perspective? I am thinking of checking in with Mina Adamo @ Napoli Su Misura since I'm an existing customer from her US Tour. There's also Ambrosi's atelier in Napoli, but not sure I want to drop $900 at this time but maybe. Any other can't-miss stops? I don't particularly care for some of the more garish Italian stuff (Berluti comes to mind), but would be open to any other recommendations or tips.

Napoli:

M Cilentro is a great menswear shop
E Marinella is not too far away - tiny shop, I never visited because it was full.
Mario Talarico - buy an umbrella
Caccioppoli - 3 floors of fabric you can look over
I never dropped in on EG Cappeli

Simon Crompton has a Naples sartorial shopping guide:

That guide incorrectly states you cannot buy fabric at Caccioppoli
