Anyone know if great places to see or collect vintage Christmas items? The vintage Italian ornaments are incredible! Is there a museum or an antique store specializing in this? I will be traveling in Italy this July, specifically in Rome, Florence and Naples. We will have a car in Florence and Naples so anything in the general area would be great.
Thank you very much!

Napoli is famous for the presepi (nativity). There are several artisan/craft stores for these items. Just google "Naples Italy presepi" and several locations will come up, not far from one another. Don't know how many sell "vintage" items, but worth a look. You can also get contact info from the shops' websites.
There's. Presepio museum in Roma between Trajan's Markets and San Pietro in Vincoli, but I don't recall the address.
Other city searches can probably yield similar results.
