I'm going to be visiting Rome in a few months and I'm looking to buy a couple of cards while I'm there. What are the good shops there, and more importantly, which ones are close to tourist attractions (the vatican, colliseum, the popular piazza's, etc)? We're going to be super busy so I'd really like to just swing by a shop on my way to something we're visiting rather than have to really go out of my way. Failing that, is there a good place to buy online? So far, I haven't been able to find any place where I can pick up both Etched Champion and Entreat the Angels in italian in one spot, and the shipping is brutal so if I'm ordering I at least want both cards to come from the same shop. Thanks for any help/info!

Let me know if you find any - I'm looking to order some Italian cards myself.
I was in Firenze last year, and I got ahold of a phone book and walked around the city trying to find gaming shops. The only one that was where the book said that it should be was a Games Workshop store that sold Warhammer only. Everything else turned out to be fumetti (comic shops), or just not there.
I was told that some people at Galactus could help, but they quoted me prices that are significantly higher than MKM, plus 10 euro shipping (as you said, brutal) on nine cards, so I'm not sure I want to go there.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
I've found one shop in Rome that's not too far out of the way, and they have a facebook page, so I'll contact them a bit ahead of time and see if they have the cards so I could just drop in quickly and pick them up. I'll let you know if their prices are decent and I'll try to inquire about international shipping while I'm there.
