By gate-side in T1, News & Books keeps it basic
This small shop in Terminal T1 sits airside near the main departure gates, so you can duck in after security without backtracking. It’s your standard airport press and snack stop: magazines, newspapers, paperbacks, plus a few last‑minute travel items so you don’t end up boarding without something to read.
News & Books focuses on print, with current Italian and international titles on the racks and a rotating mix of pocket novels that fit in a small carry-on. Expect typical airport pricing rather than bargains; think a couple of euros more than downtown for a magazine, and similar markup on paperbacks.
Alongside the reading material, shelves carry basic snacks and bottled drinks sized for carry-on rules in T1. You’ll also spot small essentials like travel-sized toiletries, pens, and plug adapters, useful if you realize at the last minute that something is still sitting on your desk at home.
Service here runs in sync with the main flight banks, opening ahead of the morning departures and staying available into the evening when the last flights out of T1 leave. It’s a quick in-and-out stop; queues usually move faster than at the cafés, and you can be done in under five minutes.
Tip: If you care about language, check the cover before heading to the till in T1 – many magazines and books are Italian-only, and the English section is smaller than you might expect.
