It's a good time of the year for all shopping aficionados: sales time, or, as we say it in Italian, è tempo di saldi!
I saldi invernali (winter sales) usually begin the day after January 6, la Befana, although it has become common for many stores to start earlier immediately after the 1st of January. The saldi are on for about two months.
We at ITALY Magazine have already started to take advantage of the bargain rates (prezzi bassi or prezzi scontati)...how about you?
