I was standing in Claudio's shop, taking photo's to put on this page when a family walked past with two young children (boys) - one just happened to look at Claudio's window and said "WOW!"  Good description I thought - a fabulous range of intimate wear and clothing accessories for both men and women.  PS:  "Sottosopra" translated means "under and over" - Claudio has clothing for both!
