Two thoughts, Matt,

One is that if you are in Florence, the area behind S. Croce has some  
interesting shops - got my fire tongs for the cabin there. And right  
there by S. Croce is the most perfectly beautiful building in  
Florence, Brunelleschi's Spazzi Chapel. Not to be missed.

The other, in Rome, is Leone Limentani, an incredible rabbit-warren  
of ground-level and below-grade rooms offering everything imaginable  
for the home, kitchen and dining in particular, at truly bargain
prices. (Knowledgeable upscale Romans get their china, cutlery and  
wedding presents there.) The address is via del Portico d'Ottavia,  
47, right by the ancient gate of Augustus Octavius (I think I have  
that right). The experience alone is worth the visit.
