Carboneria

As you can tell from this shop’s old sign it was once a ‘carboneria’ selling heating coal to the neighborhood. Now, inside this mom and pop store you will find a small housewares and hardware emporium, where you can buy firewood, propane tanks, glass jars, jute bags, kitchenwares, screws, nails and so on. The elderly husband and wife owners will welcome you in kindly and help you find whatever quotidian items you might need; a moka pot filter replacement? a laundry rack? wall plaster? And if you’ve bought more than you can carry, there is always their Piaggio Ape parked outside ready to make home deliveries.
