Yarn Shops Italy

Hi
We are leaving soon for the 10 day tour of Venice, Florence, Rome and then spending a few days in Sorrento. I’m hoping to visit some local yarn shops. I found some info from a previous RS forum topic from a few years ago about these shops:
Lillabella in Venice, Compalmi Filate and Mirko Yarns in Florence.

Does anyone have additional information to offer? Thanks so much!

My mother used to make sweaters in Florence (as a job when she was young, then mostly for friends or family after marriage since she kept the two machines in the garage). She would buy exclusively at Campolmi's. She could get wholesale discounts at their wholesale store, but I think they have a retail shop downtown Florence near Santa Maria Nuova Hospital.
