What are these hats called (both in Italian & English)? And where is the most famous place to buy them in Rome? THX

Answer 1

Here's the kind of Italian hat you need to buy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsalino

I've promised myself a Borsalino for my next birthday. These are the coolest and best hats around - best quality and most fashionable.

Answer 2

there is a nice and trendy shop on via della croce (a little street between piazza di spagna and via del corso) that sell this type of hats.
