International Living...

I found it!  The ethnic foods section in our HUGE supermarket (down in Ponte Rio, 3 miles from centro).  The supermarket is the size of a small Kroger, and contains clothes, a small hardware section, a school supplies aisle, a large deli section, and the normal accoutrements of a grocery store as you'd expect (except for having eggs on the shelf instead of in the refrigerator section).

What you can't find (or at least I couldn't, until today) is anything other than Italian foodstuffs.  Or at least foodstuffs compatible with Italian cooking.

In the corner waaaaay to the back of the store, I accidentally spotted it:

Florence showing some of the rest of the store

That is a water/juice/drinks section

You can't get refried beans here, but you can get a 10-kg (that's 22 POUND) Easter egg.  And that's not a joke:
