Whenever we go on holiday (and we go away...A LOT!!), my missus is always amazed at my dedication and determination, when out and about, looking for ANY kind of record or CD shop.
It probably stems from years ago, when they were plentiful and offered some amazing finds, but now it's like hunting for a needle in a haystack.
Even when I do find the occasional one now, she always offers the mocking '30 minutes...and you never bought anything!!' upon my return, empty handed (she's usually sunning herself on some bench or beach nearby).
Good luck in your ventures TG..and enjoy your jolly.

Why would you visit soundtrack shops when you're in friggin' Firenze, TG? Take in the sights, man, and have a coffee or beer or wine at a roadside café! 
There are sights? Why was i not informed?
But really, Thor, if I'd spent four days there and later found out that Florence was home to, say, Europe's biggest music shop with an endless supply of modestly-priced Morricone CDs, wouldn't I have felt a fool?
don't hold your breath..just like other countries, there's hardly any record stores left at all in this country, much less specialized ones.
There's the Feltrinelli chain (sort of an Italian Barnes&Noble) but the CD selection in any field outside pop music has been in steady decline for years.
The French store FNAC was the last one to have a good selection, but they closed all the Italian stores a few years ago (the Milan branch at least was great, it's sorely missed)
If you're looking for Morricones (hard to find in US and/or modestly priced) by far your best bet is to order from Intermezzo Media or from Amazon.it and have the stuff delivered to your hotel in Florence.

Hey Tg - why didnt you say??!!
There is a great Cd and dvd shop in the galleria not minutes (literally along the pavement and up steps) from firenze station.
Bought a wonderful GBU cartoon poster from there plus loads of spag western dvds - including Tepepa which id not seen before.
Plus places to eat - 5 mins walk from galleria there is a fabulous ridiculously cheap self serve restaurant above a shop which working italians use for lunch - their pasta ragu and red table by jug wine is just deliche and glugable!! Also you look down on a junction crossroads and the totty is unbelievable! Walk in - spend a few hours looking over you dvds, cds and Ennio books in italian you also bought from the bookshop and stagger out after 3 carafes of the red!
Names to follow when ive researched.

Alberti Nuova is the name of the dvd cd store in the galleria within firenze station.
The self serve is a secret. Dont want TG breaking the chair on my favourite table.
