BacchinPerhaps a safe is not exactly the souvenir to take home, but if you like the locks and keys genre, this is a place to see.

FabrianoWatermarks were invented in Fabriano, a place in the Marches region where paper-making dates back to the 12th century. This more recent shop sells finest-quality paper and writing accessories.
FornasettiNo description of this shop can be quite adequate: seeing is believing. The founder Piero Fornasetti - Milanese 'designer of dreams' famous the world over for his decorative wall-plates, trompe-l'oeils, objects and eccentric 1950s-style furniture - died in 1988. His son Barnaba took over the business and moved the shop to loftier premises, back to its origins in Via Manzoni, where creations inspired by the artist are shown off to great advantage. The Victoria & Albert Museum in London paid a tribute to Fornasetti's outstanding originality with an exhibition of his work in 1991.
Gandus La VeloxNeed a little cardboard box or any other kind of container? This place comes up with some really unique ones. Established 1890.
KathayFrom Chinese food store to emporium: you'll find food (even fresh), cosmetics and objects for your house and kitchen from all over the world. Prices are extremely interesting.
Lorenzi The workshop was established in 1924 by a knife grinder from Trentino. With time, a wide selection of toiletries have complemented razors, and now Lorenzi also sells perfumes and cosmetics.
Manifattura GinoriThe Manifattura di Doccia, established by Marquis Carlo Ginori in the early 18th century, was particularly successful when, from 1923 to 1933, the Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti was its art director. The company is still based in Tuscany, and keep producing very fine porcelain. Several lines for the home have been added over time.
Moroni GommaBorn as a technical store for rubber (gomma) and waterproof clothing – but the original premises in the Paolo Sarpi district have closed – it is now a sort of small, well kept department store for interior design objects.
New Old Camera Possibly the best shop for photography in town, attended for a long time by a world renowned professional like Gianni Berengo Gardin. The eyes of fans are captured by displays of second-hand analogue cameras, lenses and accessories, but most recent digital products are obviously also found.

.:. The company belongs to Luxottica, a firm that makes and sells glasses and is among the largest of the kind in the world. It does not come as a surprise that other Salmoiraghi & Viganò outlets are found in town: some twenty, more or less.
.:. The family names that make up the brand used to indicate two different firms – both Milanese, by the way, and both established in the 1880s – that merged together in the 1970s.
UadgYou ring the bell of this workshop, which is in the courtyard, and find yourself in a magic white world of plaster: decorations, ceiling-rosettes, frames, castings and other embellishing moldings ready-to-carry or made to order.
