Vatican Emporium - Religious Articles & Gifts — Local services in Rome

I wish I would have known about this place ahead of time before buying souvenirs, gifts, and rosaries at a gift shop in front of the Vatican. The owners are super nice and accommodating. Paola, Ludovica, and Jasmine/Yasmin (sp?) were very helpful and informative. They would even tell you which items were Italian made and which ones were not. I'm glad Glen (?) came up to us at the square to lead us to this store. We would have gotten lost if it weren't for him. They're right behind the Vatican walls, so not too far. Their prices are considerably much cheaper (approx 50-60% less than what we paid at the other gift shop for the same exact items). I highly recommend that you shop here to get more bang for your buck. Thank you so much and hope to see you all again in the...

Found this gift shop through Google and it did not disappoint! It is very close to the Vatican and their prices are fantastic! I bought my necklace here for 45 euros and the same necklace at the gift shops right outside of the Vatican was 77-110 euros. The ladies at the store were so nice and welcoming. They gave me a 10% discount and even gifted me 2 glow in the dark rosaries that was blessed. I was so happy to find out they were open in the mornings on Christmas so I can bring my jewelry for the Pope’s Christmas blessings! I appreciate how honest they were in letting me know which rosaries came from China vs Italy. Their prices are the best in this area and I would highly recommend if you want to take a little piece of this holy city...

I want to thank the lady who was so patient and helpful. I had to get a lot of things for my family back in India, and it took me a long time to choose and decide. The lady was so patient with my questions and my video calls to my husband.

My family is so happy with the Lady of Lourdes statues and the most-fragrant rosaries. My mother-in-law who id named after Mother Mary has been hugging the statue saying 'My Mother Mary'. The statues are just beautiful.

After I left the shop, the lady came outside and called out to me. I was so sure I had left something, and she gave me a set of prayer cards and said, "This is for you to give people back home'". I was so moved.

Thank you for your genuine kindness and your patience....
