Answer 1

basically EVERYTHING is open.

I was in Italy on their Labor Day and had no problems.

The only things closed were some museums.

But all churches are open so I went to the Vatican to see St Peter's Basilica.

Answer 2

Yes, they will be open on Sunday.  Monday is the day that a lot of shops are closed.

Answer 3

Hi, Kwan, yes, in Via Del Corso you'll find the shops opened, even on Sundays. But, be careful, many shops are closed during 12/13H - 16/17H. Not the big ones, but, since you want to go shopping, you must know it.
