Calling all shopaholics: the annual ‘saldi’ summer retail sales are about to begin

Everyone loves shopping. The much-anticipated summer sales (saldi) usually begin around the first week of July and go until mid-August - or until shoppers and shop owners have cleared out last season’s goods. 

During the first week of sales, items across much of Italy are discounted by 30 to 50 per cent, with discounts getting deeper with each passing week. 

Just about every place with something to sell, from small boutiques to designer outlets, get in on the saldi bandwagon to capture shoppers’ attention.
