Starbucks gets ready to open sixth store in Rome.

Starbucks is preparing to open a new outlet in the historic centre of Rome, just off the city's main shopping street, as the American multinational coffee chain continues to expand in Italy.

The new Starbucks, the sixth in the Italian capital, is set to open in the coming weeks in Piazza di San Silvestro, around the corner from the central thoroughfare Via del Corso.

The new venue - with eight windows onto Via di San Claudio and three onto Piazza di San Silvestro - is located in Palazzo Marignoli which also houses Rome's flagship Apple Store.

The imminent opening of the new Starbucks comes amid an expansion by the coffee giant in Rome.

Last year a Starbucks opened in front of the Italian parliament, followed by two outlets at Termini train station, one in the Prati district and another in the Porta di Roma shopping distict in the north-east suburbs.
