Rome shopping: Ai monastery, a shop from another era

Yesterday while I was walking through the streets of Rome, I came upon the strangest shop I had ever seen; unable to check my curiosity I went in and found a series of artefacts and products from the major abbeys and monasteries here in Italy.
The shop owned by Mr Umberto, a biologist who teaches botany at the Catholic University of Rome, told me that his father who fought in East Africa during world war 2 had a passion for officinal herbs and somehow this passion was passed down to him! The products in the shop are all from monasteries and nunneries and include alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, tea blends and chocolates! So if you are in Rome, check it out! It won’t disappoint you.
