Tips from locals
Via Vittorio Veneto, commonly called via Veneto, is a street in the historic center of Rome that leads uphill from Piazza Barberini to Porta Pinciana, in the Ludovisi district. In its initial section, it separates this district from that of Colonna. Initially, like other streets in the district, it was dedicated to the Italian region of the same name. After the First World War, with resolution of the Municipal Council n. 37 of 25 October 1919, its name was changed in memory of the battle of Vittorio Veneto. Designed at the end of the nineteenth century in place of Villa Ludovisi, it owes its fame above all to being at the center of the Dolce Vita period, thanks to the presence of numerous cafes (for example Harry's Bar) and hotels frequented by actors, singers and other celebrities, as well as journalists and photographers (or paparazzi). His fame was definitively sanctioned through Federico Fellini's film La dolce vita, which nevertheless rebuilt the road in the Cinecittà studios.
