Although
you'll need to go to Rome to find designer shops, the village has
plenty of stores for essentials, plus a chemist on the Piazza della Libertà (shown with a green cross on the map below) and a post office on the Via Provinciale that has been known to run out of stamps.
Shops slightly further afield There are 2 shopping malls (both containing large supermarkets) within 10 minutes’ drive of Capena: Arca and Centro Feronia.
Drive
down the Via Provinciale out of Capena to the T-junction with the Via
Tiberina ("il bivio"). Turn right and look out for the blue entrance to
L'Arca on your left after about 200 metres.
Turn
left at the bivio and drive back toward the motorway for about 2 km.
Centro Commerciale Feronia is more or less on the motorway exit and
contains a 10-screen cinema as well as shops.
The locations of the two malls are shown on the Access Map on the Maps page.
