I saw we were listing the b&m vintage stores in the UK & Ireland so I thought I'd make a plea for a list of those in Italy, too.
I am leaving tomorrow and only have a couple of days in London but I hope to hit a few of the shops listed.
Anyone know of any shops in Rome, Firenza, Venice, Naples or Lerici (cinque terre)?
 
I wish I did ! Found this info at epicurious.com

In ancient Rome, the Suburra was a working-class area near the Imperial forums. Now known as Monti, the district is headed toward shabby chic. Most of the action is on the Via del Boschetto. Locals love Il Tarlo's (No. 2a; 06-474-4001) furniture from Thailand and Nepal; Archivia's (No. 15a; 06-474-1503) bright fabrics and china; and Linn-Sui's (No. 78a-79; 06-482-0761) futons and tatami. Shop in Le Gallinelle (No. 66; 06-488-1017) for vintage duds, or Fabio Piccioni (No. 148; 06-474-1697) for antique costume jewelry. Arcana Celestia Boutique (No. 127; 06-482-3572) carries jeans and cool T-shirts, and Pulp Freak & Chic (No. 140; 06-485-511) sells revamped used clothes.
 
It's been about 5 years since I was there, but at that time there were several good vintage shops at the lower end of Piazza Navona in Rome.

If you are there on Sunday, there is the Porta Portese flea market in Trastevere, which is on the south side of the Tiber River. There are little flea markets set up almost anyday in piazzas across Rome, and often there will be used/vintage clothing.

I don't know of any in Florence, but the Ferragamo Shoe museum is there. Go to the store and ask to see it. Also there is usually a clothing exhibit at the Pitti Palace.

Bon Voyage!
