Galleria Alberto Sordi

The Galleria Alberto Sordi is a shopping arcade in Art Nouveau style located on Via del Corso. It features ornate marble columns, glass-domed ceilings, and elaborate decorative details spread across multiple levels with retail spaces.

Architect Dario Carbone designed this gallery, which opened in October 1922. In 2003, it received its current name to honor the renowned Italian actor Alberto Sordi.

The name honors a beloved Italian actor, showing how Rome celebrates its cultural figures. The space serves as a meeting point where locals and visitors blend shopping with people-watching amid classic Roman elegance.

The gallery sits between the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, making it easy to reach while exploring the center. You can browse multiple shops across different floors featuring Italian and international brands.

In 2023, the building underwent renovation bringing new retail concepts while preserving its original 1920s architectural features. This blend of old and new shows how Rome adapts historic spaces to contemporary needs without losing their character.
