Buying in Perugia: Woven Textiles, Fragrance and Wine

Three Perugia businesses sell three different things, and each has a detail worth knowing before you buy.

Giuditta Brozzetti: woven textiles

The weaving atelier at Via T. Berardi 5/6 sells household textiles such as cushions and table runners, and it also sells scarves and stoles.S1 S2 Its contact page sets out when the atelier can be visited, so read it before you go.S2

Profumi di Perugia: personal fragrances

The perfumer sells a mini set of its seven eaux de parfum, made so that a fragrance can be tried before it is bought.S3 That set is the safer gift when you do not know the recipient’s taste.

La Bottega del Vino: bottled and loose wine

La Bottega del Vino sells wine by the bottle and loose, from cellars in Veneto and Sardinia as well as Umbria, in two shops, one on Via Settevalli and one in Ponte San Giovanni.S4 For loose wine, bring your own container or use one from the shop.S4
