When do Italy's summer sales begin in 2024?

Rome's summer sales start on 6 July 2024.

Summer sales in Rome and the Lazio region begin officially on Saturday 6 July with discounted clothes, shoes and accessories on offer for the following six weeks.

Italy's summer sales begin in all regions on 6 July however the end date varies from region to region, with sales seasons running between six and eight weeks.

Consumer watchdog Codacons points out that shoppers should be aware of the regulations regarding sales and should check whether prices have actually been lowered.

Shoppers should be wary of shops advertising discounts of more than 50 per cent.

Codacons says that only shops at the very high end of the market could afford to offer such a discount, and that if consumers suspect a scam that they should contact Codacons or the police.

Shopkeepers are obliged to display both the full and discounted price of all items on sale, and they must accept the credit cards displayed on their windows as payment during sales.

Unless the item is damaged, shopkeepers do not have to accept returns on sale items, nor are they obliged to allow customers to try on items.
