Michael Stein inquires about Classical Record shops in Rome.  Unfortunately
they are very few and generally lacking of a professional employees capable
in responding to particular requests.  In ny case one can try the
following:

Messaggerie musicali - Via del Corso 122
Ricordi Mediastores - Via del Corso 506,
both in the center of the town.
Archivio Fonografico - Viale Aventino 59 (specialized in classical music
with a good stock of used records)
