Film Availability in Florence, Italy

[Jim Noel]

Does anyone have information regarding the availability of 120 film, both B&W and color in Florence Italy?

Thanks in advance

I saw some Tri-X next to Il Duomo but it was very expensive. I did find plenty at great prices in Turin, though.

Just carry it with you. That's what I did in late '09- no hassles, no X-ray troubles, and 120 is lightweight. There are better things to do in Florence than look for camera stores. Although I did see an interesting store near the south end of the Ponte Vecchio. But the S/O had other ideas so I didn't get inside.

The best and cheapest photo supply store is outside the city center,
in the industrial part of Firenze: it is called Toscana Foto Service.
There used to be a great store near Piazza Santa Croce called
Foto Ottica MB but it closed down going on two years.
You may be able to find 120 in most commercial photo shops
like il Fotoamatore chain but I can't guarantee decent prices.
Like Mark said, bring some with you. If there's anything
in particular you're looking for let me know, I may be able to help.

Thank you all, especially Mat.
I will use the information as I make my decision concerning having an adequate supply of film while there.
