If you're looking to buy marron glacé in Rome, Giuliani is highly recommended! Founded in 1949 by Giulio Giuliani, this shop specializes in marron glacé and chocolates. It is located near Vatican City, between the Ottaviano and Lepanto stations on Metro Line A. ・ Giulio, who learned confectionery in Switzerland, is a maestro whose high skills have been recognized with awards. The marron glacé, made from large, high-quality marrons measuring up to 5 centimeters, are all handcrafted by artisans. You can choose between a simple sugar-coated version and a chocolate-coated version. Both are moist, soft, and elegantly flavored, captivating those with a sweet tooth. ・ The shop's showcase is brightly adorned with chocolate confections, resembling small jewels. In Italian, bite-sized chocolates are called 'cioccolatini.' ・ Recommended items include 'arancini,' orange peels coated in rich chocolate, and 'tre re,' three hazelnuts coated in chocolate. ・ Vibrant fruit jellies also make great souvenirs. These handmade jellies, made from natural fruit juice, offer a delicate and refined sweetness. ・ The confections in the shop's showcase are sold by weight and can be packed in cute chestnut-shaped boxes. The Italian-style wrapping, which doesn't use tape, is also charming.
