This is a typical Italian edicola (newsstand) that sells newspapers, periodicals, and souvenirs. Via Veneto (The official name is Via Vittorio Veneto, after the Battle of Vittorio Veneto) was home to the famous Café de Paris and Harry's Bar, immortalized in Federico Fellini's 1960 film La Dolce Vita and was a well known haunt for celebrities in Rome. La Dolce Vita was mostly centered around the Via Veneto area. This made the street famous in the 1960's–1970's and turned it into a center for upmarket cafes and shops. Following a period of stagnation in the 1980's the street has now found a new life. Via Vittorio Veneto is now one of the most famous (and expensive) streets in Rome with some of the best hotels located here.

Hours of operation: 8:00 am to 18:00 (6:00 pm). Hours may vary seasonally.
Attendant may make change.
Parking may be found on street.

The Euro cent machine is located outside of the newsstand in front of the Intesa San Paolo bank entrance on the northwest corner of Via Vittorio Veneto and Via Ludovisi. Since the newsstands do not have addresses, the address posted is for the bank.

Designs all have a 'MC' beaded border with 'Milano' and cost 1€ on a 2 Euro cent piece that you supply:
1. (V) Anita Ekberg in her flowing dress with 'La Dolce Vita'.
2. (H) Silhouette of a man and woman touching foreheads with 'Love'.
