Default Shopping in Rome -- Where?

Will be in Rome shortly. What items are bargains there and where do
you recommend shopping?

Post cards. Someone got on our tour bus at the airport and offered
packages of 20 for US$2.00. When we got to the Coliseum, the same
packages were being offered for US$1.00, and these sellers told us it
was "cheaper than K-Mart".

Shopping -- Via del Corso
Bargains -- Not many. Leather, perhaps. I don't suppose these are
the types of bargains you are thinking about, but a Rome experience is
the Flea Market at Porto Portese on weekends, but watch for
pickpockets -- it's a madhouse.
