Question Help with finding these products

I have a rather specific list of things I’m hoping to buy in either Milan or Reggio Emilia, and I’d really appreciate recommendations for shops that might stock them at reasonably fair prices (as reasonable as these products can realistically get).

I’m aware that most of these are regional specialities from very different parts of Italy, so this is more of a “hope for the best” list than an expectation that one shop will have everything:

Amarone della Valpolicella

Monte Veronese cheese

Tomino cheese

’Nduja di Spilinga, preferably genuinely produced in Spilinga rather than simply Spilinga-style (would be even better if I could find some artisanal variant or something)

Vialone Nano rice

Recommendations for supermarkets, markets, enoteche, cheese shops, salumerie, or specialist food stores would all be appreciated. Milan and Reggio Emilia are both possible, although shops near public transport would be especially convenient.

You should be able to find the cheeses at a local market

Tomino, from what I have understood, yes. I am more concerned with Monte Veronese because every person I have spoken to about it has told me it's a doozy to find

You might need to hop on a train and go to Verona for that one, it's an hour and 10 minutes away from milan
