1. They're EVERYWHERE! You can spend as much or as little as you want. Have a great trip!
2. Most rosaries cost around 5.00 depending on the style and size of beads. In euros, a rosary would be 3.74. Many shops in rome sell rosaries. Search before you go for the locations of these shops so you know which stores sell rosaries and which ones don't
3. you can find rosaries everywhere in Rome, including gift shops. Authentic ones are purchased from Catholic churches and bless by priests. They range in price and can be very intricate; some are plastic (cheap ones) and some are hard carved (pricier) and some are made out of semi precious stones (pricey). I prefer the hard carved rosary personally.
4. there are HEAPS, espcially around the Vatican. The streets leading up to it are filled to the brim with a whole variety of them.....I bought several "blessed by the Pope" (I beleive they stand under the window when he blesses things on Wedensday or something like that...everytime he blesses the crowd, he blesses the Rosaries!! Prices are vaired and you can get cheap cheap to expensive and everything in between....eg only a few Euros..but it depends on what they are made out of and if it has a nice case etc.
5. Go near St. Peters, you will find them everywhere!
6. where can u find Rosaries in the house of Catholic Religion? everywhere prices are really different, from few euros for plastic one( there are fluorescent rosaries too...) to hundred (sometimes thousands) euros for gold or or something particular one in jewelery.
7. I purchased 2 sets of rosaries last year in a small gift shop outside of a church in Sicily (Gibilimanna). I spent around 60 Euros for each but they are beautifully made and intricate. You can find rosary beads just about anywhere and prices do vary greatly. Have a great trip.
8. There are probably more rosaries sold in Rome than the rest of the world put together !! Price wise I am sure you can find them from the least expensive to the most expensive.
