The Via del Corso has been a main street throughout Rome for centuries. There are three palaces and various other residential apartments above the clothing stores and restaurants that line the streets. Where are the supermarkets? Where is Di Per Di (a supermarket that can be found throughout the city)? Does it make any sense that no supermarkets can be found along this street? Then again, it is less than obvious that there are any living quarters whatsoever on this street. Perhaps having a supermarket would make the street seem a little less touristy and a little more "lived-in" than the city wants it to be portrayed as. I think this is just one of the possibilities. Regardless, there are shops nearby in Piazza Navona and the Pantheon that I have found. It is just strange to think that there is not one grocery store that can be found down the Corso.
