Cultural tip Although most Italian pharmacies also
sell cosmetics and toiletries, the best shop in which
to buy these items is la profumeria. Some are
very upmarket and offer a wider range of brands.
Il tabaccaio (tobacconist (tobacconist (tobacconist) is the only licensed outlet tobacconist ) is the only licensed outlet

case of stamps). Sometimes you will find a tobacconist
counter within the premises of a bar.
