Question: are shops in rome closed on sunday?
Answer: Shops in Rome typically open at 9am-1pm and 3.30-7.30pm (4-8pm in Summer), except on Sundays and Monday mornings, which is somewhat a little later. Grocery shops also close on Thursday afternoons. Some bookshops and clothes shops (around Campo dei Fiori, for example) open on Sundays, from 10am.
