"Giulia" shopping centre is open every day until 7:30 p.m.

cashier/salesperson that you are entitled to a discount BEFORE they make 
out the bill/receipt [in Italian discount for ICTP = sconto per il 
Centro di Fisica]. Discounts are not applicable to items on sale.
** Many shops have requested that payments be made either by cash or 
cheque and not with credit cards. If you use credit cards, discounts may
