Materozzoli out - Car shoe in

I used to LOVE Materozzoli. I went here for all my special perfume purchases. I loved the atmosphere of sophistication and historical relevance.
The shop was opened in 1870 by a man- Mr Materozzoli- from Pietmont, it ran as a family business for over a century until 1977 when Gianni Sciortino and Luisa Zamagna, took over the shop and continued the tradition of excellence.

Materozzoli was a point of reference for the "bella Roma" as well as for chic travelers to Rome.

And now they are gone. Where? What happened to Materozzoli? All I know for now is that they have been replaced by my favorite brand of shoes, but nevertheless, they are going to be missed.
