"Roman Holiday" Movie Walking Tour (Self Guided), Rome
Filmed entirely in the heart of Rome, Roman Holiday is one of those timeless films that beckons you to hop on a Vespa and lose yourself in the intoxicating beauty of the Italian capital. Released in 1953, this beloved classic has captured hearts across generations, thanks to its irresistible blend of romance, adventure, and charm—anchored by two of Hollywood’s brightest stars, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.
An enchanting romantic comedy, Roman Holiday earned three Oscars, including the Best Actress trophy for Hepburn, whose performance is nothing short of mesmerizing. She brings Princess Ann to life with such grace and vulnerability that it’s impossible not to fall in love with her. At the heart of the story is Ann, a dutiful princess yearning for just one day of freedom. She escapes her royal duties and the suffocating confines of her embassy, only to find herself swept up in a whirlwind of carefree joy—and the company of Joe Bradley, a charming but opportunistic American journalist. Together, they embark on an adventure through the Eternal City.
The iconic locations in Rome form the film’s beating heart, turning the city into a sprawling outdoor film set. The elegant Brancaccio and Barberini palaces, with their regal splendor, serve as the princess’s embassy, the fortress from which she escapes. From there, Ann’s adventure leads her to the more intimate corners of the city. The cozy, charming Via Margutta 51—Joe’s apartment—is the perfect starting point for their shared journey, nestled on a quiet, picturesque street that feels like a secret waiting to be discovered.
One of the most memorable scenes comes at the Spanish Steps, where Ann enjoys a scoop of gelato in a blissful, carefree moment that encapsulates the joy of living fully “here and now”—before the weight of reality catches up. Romance and mischief swirl under the twinkling lights at the Sant Angelo Castle, where the pair shares a magical dance along the riverbank. The heart-stopping tension of their adventure peaks at the Saint Philip Neri Oratory, where the ringing bell tower adds to the pulse-pounding drama.
But it’s the small, humble barber shop near the Trevi Fountain that brings one of the film’s most thrilling moments: Ann, shedding her royal persona as she chops off her long, luxurious hair in the name of freedom.
Finally, the grand Colonna Palace serves as the backdrop for the film’s poignant ending scene—the press conference, where the weight of the world seems to fall back onto Ann’s shoulders.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Roman Holiday in real life, here's your chance for a perfect, self-guided itinerary in the footsteps of a classic. So go ahead—channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, and maybe, just maybe, let the Eternal City – a living postcard of cinematic magic – sweep you off your feet!

1) Palazzo Brancaccio (Brancaccio Palace): Princess Ann's Embassy
The Brancaccio Palace, located on the Oppio Hill between the Colosseum and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, is the last noble residence built in Rome. It was constructed between 1886 and 1912 and was commissioned by the American heiress Maria Elizabeth Field, wife of the Prince of Naples, Salvatore Brancaccio. A popular legend claims that the palace incorporates the Maecenas Tower, from which some 2,000 years ago, Emperor Nero observed the fire of Rome that he himself reportedly started.
The property served as the filming location for all the interior scenes of Princess Ann's Embassy in Roman Holiday. While the movie portrays Barberini Palace as the location from the outside, the rooms of Brancaccio were chosen as the inner set. Of the several rooms featured in the movie, particularly noteworthy is the magnificent Baroque room where the Reception Ball takes place, as well as Her Highness' dormitory, and the Hall of Mirrors.
Recall the scene where Ann gazes out of the window at people dancing in the nearby garden party, yearning to be among them? The shots capturing this moment and the general view from the window were indeed filmed at the Brancaccio Palace.
Additionally, you may remember Ann's daring escape from her room through the balcony, which showcases some of the palace's exterior decorations.
Presently, the Brancaccio Palace is often rented for exclusive events and weddings. The building also houses various exhibitions, art collections, and offices for art curators. It is primarily dedicated to showcasing contemporary art, design, and photography. As such, the palace serves as a destination for exploring the latest art trends and discovering the works of contemporary artists.

2) Palazzo Barberini (Barberini Palace): Princess Ann's Embassy
The historic Barberini Palace is home to the National Gallery of Ancient Art, one of Italy’s most significant art museums. It houses an extensive collection of paintings, primarily from before 1800.
The palace was designed in the 17th century as a grand residence for Pope Urban VIII, a member of the Barberini family. The project was led by the renowned architect Carlo Maderno and continued by Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernini after Maderno's death in 1629. Following Pope Urban VIII’s death in 1644, the property was confiscated but returned to the Barberini family in 1653.
The palace is a prime example of Baroque architecture. One of its highlights is the "Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power", a spectacular ceiling fresco by Pietro da Cortona, which dazzles visitors with its theatrical, dynamic style.
In 1949, the Italian state acquired Barberini Palace to accommodate the National Gallery. Its collection comprises some truly remarkable masterpieces like Caravaggio's "Judith Beheading Holofernes", Raphael's "Fornarina", and Fra’ Filippo Lippi’s "Madonna and Child". The museum also displays furniture, majolica, and porcelain, offering visitors an immersive journey through centuries of artistic achievement.
Barberini Palace also made an appearance in the "Roman Holiday" movie as Ann's Embassy during her stay in Rome. Note its wonderfully ornate gate, featured in the film, welcoming Princess Ann's delegation, as well as in the scenes of her escape from the palace. However, either due to availability issues or for aesthetic reasons, the interior of Barberini Palace was not featured in the film; instead, the interior shots were made inside Brancaccio Palace.

3) Scalinata di Trinita dei Monti (Spanish Steps) (must see)
The Spanish Steps, a monumental stairway of 135 steps, holds the distinction of being the longest and widest in Europe. The steps link Spanish Square, at the base, with the Trinity of the Mountains Square at the top.
The stairway was completed under Pope Clement XI in 1717, deriving its name from the nearby Spanish Embassy to the Holy See. Financed in part by a French diplomat, it features Baroque elements, inspired by garden stairs, and incorporates symbolic decorations such as the Bourbon heraldic lily flowers and papal eagles.
As a cultural and seasonal hub hosting public events such as Christmas cribs, spring azalea displays, and a flower market, the Spanish Steps have captivated artists and people of letters since the 18th century. Among them was the renowned English poet, John Keats, who lived and died practically next door. His house, at the base of the steps (located to the right, if you face the stairs), is now a museum.
Other nearby landmarks include the Ferrari di Valbona Palace, redesigned in 1936, and Babington's tea room, a resilient establishment that has withstood two world wars and numerous adversities, ultimately becoming a beloved tourist attraction.
The steps' cinematic appeal also made them a backdrop for numerous films, including the Hollywood blockbuster “Roman Holiday” made in 1953, starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. In the scene where Joe Bradley, played by Peck, meets Princess Ann, played by Hepburn, she sits on the steps, enjoying the view and eating ice cream. Fresh after the haircut, the princess takes compliments for her new look and makes up a story that she has run away from school. She accepts his proposal to spend the day together before she returns, and thus the Roman Holiday story begins!
Other filmmakers also made a mark on the steps, such as “The Talented Mr. Ripley” movie with Matt Damon, shot in 1999, and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” featuring Tom Cruise, which premiered at the steps on June 19, 2023.
Consequently, the Spanish Steps became a magnet for aspiring models, affluent Romans, international travelers, and people from all walks of life. The tradition of gathering here is deeply ingrained in the locals and visitors alike. Today, the steps are protected by strict regulations against loitering, eating, or damaging, with heavy fines introduced to maintain decorum.
Tip:
The staircase offers picturesque views of Rome from its pinnacle, particularly at sunset—a truly unbeatable sight!
The afternoon and late hours are the best for visiting, so to avoid the heat of the day.
Alongside tourist activities such as carriage rides, you'll find nearby an array of shops and bars worth exploring.

4) Via Margutta 51: Joe Bradley's Apartment
Via Margutta is a picturesque, narrow street in the historic Campo Marzio neighborhood of Rome, once known as "the foreigner’s quarter." The street’s name likely originates from Marisgutta (which means the “Sea Drop”), a reference to a small, polluted stream that once ran down from Pincio Hill, functioning as a natural drain.
Originally, Via Margutta was a back alley of warehouses and stables for the nearby grand palaces. Over time, it became home to masons, marble cutters, and metalworkers. In the Middle Ages, workshops flourished, attracting artists from across Italy and abroad. These artisans gradually replaced the stables with homes, studios, and gardens, transforming the area into a vibrant artistic hub.
In the 19th century, Pope Pius IX’s advisor recognized the area’s potential and incorporated it into Rome’s city plan. By the 20th century, Via Margutta had become a sought-after destination for artists, writers, and filmmakers. Its charm was further cemented by the 1953 film Roman Holiday.
One of the movie's lead characters, Joe Bradley (played by Gregory Peck), resided at Via Margutta 51. While the interior of his apartment and the spiral staircase were constructed as a studio set, the external features of the courtyard were genuine.
Passing through the arched wooden entrance, one discovers a spacious court, with the artist's studio apartment situated on the right. Towards the back, a tunnel passageway (notable for the eagle sculpture adorning its entrance) would lead to another landing. This landing is showcased in the film when Joe lends Ann some money. Observant viewers could spot the landlord's balcony situated above the tunnel.
To locate Joe's apartment door, one would need to ascend several flights of stairs while staying to the right. The view captured from Joe's terrace was likely filmed from one of these apartments within the courtyard.
The success of Roman Holiday boosted the area's reputation as an exclusive, artistic neighborhood. Among its famous residents over the years have been the likes of Italian film director Federico Fellini and his wife, actress Giulietta Masina, as well as painter Renato Guttuso and many others.
Today, Via Margutta retains its artistic essence, hosting a prestigious outdoor art festival, 100 Pittori, founded in 1953, where both established and emerging artists exhibit their works.

5) Castel Sant'Angelo (Sant Angelo Castle): Night of Dancing on the River
The Mausoleum of Hadrian, also known as Sant Angelo Castle, is a cylindrical tower in Rome’s Adriano Park. Built by Emperor Hadrian between 134 and 139 AD as a family mausoleum, it later housed the remains of several emperors.
In 401, the structure was repurposed into a fortress, incorporated into the Aurelian Walls, and used for defense. Legend claims that Archangel Michael appeared over it in 590, ending a plague and inspiring its current name. Over time, popes transformed the castle into a papal residence, prison, and execution site. Now a museum, it features historical exhibits, secret passages, and a rooftop terrace offering stunning views of Rome and Vatican City.
In the 20th century, the castle provided a setting for one of the scenes in the famous 1953 Hollywood blockbuster “Roman Holiday.” Anyone who saw it can surely recall the memorable moment when Princess Ann received an invitation from Mario Delani, the barber responsible for her stunning new haircut, to join him for a night of dancing aboard a barge on the Tiber River. The scene brims with excitement, particularly as secret agents pursue the Princess, resulting in a delightful commotion. And who could forget her ingenious move of playfully striking one of the agents with a guitar, thereby making him the "crowned head" of the night's festivities? The night of dancing concludes with a thrilling leap into the river.
Decades on, the Tiber has gone low, and the barge – once moored between the Vittorio Emanuele II Bridge and Sant Angelo Bridge – is not there anymore, not to mention discotheques and Gregory Pecks. But they say, back in the day, people did party hard here. With the right amount of imagination, you can still visualize anything you want. At least the bridge where it all happened and the Sant Angelo Castle are still there.

6) Oratorio dei Filippini (Oratory of St. Philip Neri): The Bell Tower Moment
If you happen to find yourself on one of the numerous balconies facing south along Via Margutta, you can admire the exquisite Baroque bell tower seen from Joe's apartment window – the same one that chimed to awaken Joe on the day Princess Ann's interview was unexpectedly canceled. The tower, more accurately described as a turret, is situated on the opposite side of the downtown area and belongs to the Oratory of Saint Phillip Neri. This structure was built between 1637 and 1650 under the skillful guidance of architect Francesco Borromini.
Borromini's oratory façade embodies his dynamic Baroque style, featuring a concave design symbolizing outstretched arms welcoming worshipers and the less fortunate. This graceful curvature reflects his intent to infuse movement and warmth into architectural form.
Despite its grandeur, the facade was intentionally secondary to the adjacent New Church of Santa Maria in Vallicella, the mother church of the Filippini congregation. The oratory includes the Vallicelliana Library, courtyards, a refectory, and the remarkable turret added in 1649 at the corner overlooking the charmingly small Clock Square.
The Vallicelliana Library, founded by Philip Neri, features a peaceful courtyard accessible during opening hours, with guided visits available upon request by email. Designed for optimal acoustics, the building enhances music, central to Filippini prayer.

7) G. Rocca Cafe at Pantheon: Meeting Irving
Joe and Ann meet at the Spanish Steps while Ann enjoys gelato, and they decide to spend a carefree holiday together, indulging in simple pleasures like sitting at sidewalk cafes, admiring shop windows, and strolling in the rain. To fulfill Ann’s wish of visiting a cafe, Joe takes her to G. Rocca Café, located next to the Pantheon, a historic Roman monument from the 2nd century AD.
At Rocca’s, Ann experiences a moment of newfound freedom—sipping her first glass of champagne for breakfast and smoking her first cigarette. It is also where she meets photographer Irving Radovich, Joe’s colleague, who stumbles upon them and has Joe masterfully pour champagne over his pants. The café setting adds a charming touch to Ann’s transformation, as she sports her new fashionable haircut and embraces a more adventurous spirit.
Although, in reality, there never was any Rocca Café there, its façade today remains intact. Specially installed for filming at the northwest corner of the Pantheon, this spot laid the foundation for the prosperity of all the nearby cafes which have been serving Prosecco for everyone ever since.
As for the actual location, it has been transformed into a trendy Italian fashion store, particularly known for its denim collection. Despite its transformation, the new establishment still carries the echoes of Ann and Joe’s time together, making it a nostalgic landmark for film lovers. Visitors can still peek inside the shop for a touch of the past, where the magic of their cinematic moment lingers.

8) Galleria Alberto Sordi (Alberto Sordi Shopping Arcade): American News Service Office
In the Roman Holiday movie, Joe Bradley serves as a journalist at the American News Service Office in Rome. For those curious about the actual location of the office, it was set in the Alberto Sordi Gallery, formerly known as the Colonna Gallery Palace, in Colonna Square.
While the interior scenes of Joe Bradley’s workplace were filmed in a studio, the view outside the window accurately featured sights in front of the gallery, such as the marble Column of Marcus Aurelius, built in 193 AD, and the Colonna Square fountain, dating back to 1577.
The gallery itself, inaugurated in 1922, is a shopping arcade that also serves as one of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers’ headquarters. It was built on the former site of the 17th-century Piombino Palace demolished in 1888. The building is known for its elegant Art Nouveau architecture and striking stained-glass ceiling.
Following a 2003 restoration, it was renamed in honor of Alberto Sordi, a renowned Roman actor. Today, the gallery remains a prominent architectural and commercial hub, offering an array of high-quality shops. While some modern chain stores have appeared, the arcade still showcases Italy’s finest brands in a unique setting.
Beyond shopping, the Alberto Sordi Gallery may also provide a much-wanted escape from the hustle of Via del Corso.

9) Barber Shop at Trevi Fountain: The Haircut
After saying goodbye to Joe Bradley at his apartment on Via Margutta, Princess Anne wanders through Rome with 1,000 lire in hand—an amount that, in today’s currency, barely covers a public restroom visit. Despite the modest sum, she manages to buy shoes, enjoy an ice cream, get a haircut, and even give a coin to a flower seller. Her spontaneous adventure leads her to a hair salon near the Trevi Fountain, where she is inspired by a stylish Italian woman’s short hairdo. Entranced by the idea of a transformation, she steps into the barbershop and entrusts her locks to the barber Mario Delani.
The hairdresser’s shop was located at 85 Via della Stamperia, to the east of the Trevi Fountain, an iconic Roman landmark built in 1762. Tradition dictates that tossing coins into the fountain determines one’s fate: one coin ensures a return to Rome, two bring luck in love, three mean marriage, and four promise wealth. Custom also requires that the coin be thrown with the right hand over the left shoulder, standing with one’s back to the fountain. Standing this way, you can clearly see, to your left, the former hairdresser's shop.
Although the barbershop has now transformed into a leather goods store, a poster on the door commemorates its cinematic history. Furthermore, according to legend, a barbershop had been there since the 18th century, when architect Nicola Salvi was building the Trevi Fountain. The shop’s owner, frustrated by the dust and noise from the construction, constantly complained to the architect. In an act of elegant revenge, Salvi placed a decorative stone vase in front of the shop’s windows, permanently blocking the view of the grand fountain—a petty yet poetic gesture that remains to this day.
This historical quirk sparks the thought that the shop should be repurchased and restored to its former glory as a hair salon. The idea of many female tourists flocking to get the famous “shorter, shorter!” haircut is sure tantalizing. And who knows, maybe their enthusiasm would eventually prove sufficient to facilitate the removal of Salvi’s stone obstruction.

Although the barbershop has now transformed into a leather goods store, a poster on the door commemorates its cinematic history. Furthermore, according to legend, a barbershop had been there since the 18th century, when architect Nicola Salvi was building the Trevi Fountain. The shop’s owner, frustrated by the dust and noise from the construction, constantly complained to the architect. In an act of elegant revenge, Salvi placed a decorative stone vase in front of the shop’s windows, permanently blocking the view of the grand fountain—a petty yet poetic gesture that remains to this day.
This historical quirk sparks the thought that the shop should be repurchased and restored to its former glory as a hair salon. The idea of many female tourists flocking to get the famous “shorter, shorter!” haircut is sure tantalizing. And who knows, maybe their enthusiasm would eventually prove sufficient to facilitate the removal of Salvi’s stone obstruction.
10) Palazzo della Consulta (Constitutional Court): Int. Police Station
The Council Palace on the Quirinal Hill was originally built in the late 16th century under Pope Sixtus V to house the Court of the Sacred Council. In the 1730s, Pope Clement XII had it entirely rebuilt into an expansive structure intended to accommodate the Sacred Council congregation, as well as the quarters for the Pope's cavalry guards and the foot soldiers assigned to the papal carriage escort.
During the Napoleonic era, this late Baroque edifice served as the Prefecture of the Tiber and later as the government seat of the Second Roman Republic in 1848. After Rome’s annexation by Italy in 1870, it was briefly a royal residence before housing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and later the Ministry of Colonies. Since 1955, it has been the seat of the Constitutional Court.
Architecturally, the palace features a grand two-story façade with a Corsini papal coat of arms, a striking staircase, pilasters, and various decorations. The interior boasts frescoes from different periods.
In the Roman Holiday movie, the palace served as the police station where Princess Ann was taken after crashing her Vespa into vendor stalls. The chaotic yet thrilling scooter ride through Rome begins at G. Rocca Cafe, with Joe expertly navigating the city while Ann encounters mishaps, including collisions with street vendors and café tables. Eventually, they arrive at the police station, briefly shown in the film. The Dioscuri Fountain and the obelisk in Quirinal Square confirm the location. Though fleeting, these glimpses of Rome’s landmarks add authenticity to the film’s iconic scenes.

11) Palazzo Colonna (Colonna Palace): Ann meets the Press
The Colonna Palace is a vast palatial complex and one of the grandest private residences in Rome. It has been in the possession of the Colonna family for over twenty generations. The palace's origins date back to the 13th century, and it is said to have hosted Dante during his time in Rome. Historically, the palace was first recorded as the residence of Cardinals Giovanni and Giacomo Colonna and later housed Cardinal Oddone Colonna, who became Pope Martin V in 1417.
Despite the 1527 Sack of Rome, the property remained unharmed and underwent significant renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries. A small bridge over Via della Pilotta connects the palace to its gardens. While still serving as a private residence for members of the Colonna family, it is open to the public on Saturday mornings or by guided tours on Friday mornings.
The Colonna Gallery, completed in 1703, is the palace's most opulent feature. Its ceiling fresco, depicting the 1571 Battle of Lepanto, commemorates the victory of Marcantonio II of Colonna. The gallery boasts an extraordinary collection of works by renowned artists such as Poussin, Tintoretto, Veronese, and many others. Among its many treasures is Annibale Carracci’s "The Beaneater", which captures a strikingly naturalistic image of a common man mid-meal. At one end of the gallery stands a red marble column, representing the Colonna family’s emblem.
The Colonna Palace has also made its mark in popular culture. The final scene of the 1953 film Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, was shot in the Sala Grande, where Princess Ann delivers her farewell speech. The poignant closing scene shows Gregory Peck walking through the grand hall, his solitary figure echoing against the towering walls adorned with multiple levels of paintings.
Visitors can explore the palace through guided tours in English, included in the entrance fee, making it easier to appreciate the extensive collection of artwork featuring madonnas, saints, popes, and cardinals. To round off the experience, the gallery café with a terrace provides a charming spot to relax and admire the breathtaking surroundings.

12) Arco di Settimio Severo (Arch of Septimius Severus)
The Arch of Septimius Severus stands proudly at the northwestern end of the Roman Forum. This triumphal arch, constructed in white marble, was dedicated in 203 AD to commemorate the military successes of Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons, Caracalla and Geta, against the Parthians. The victories occurred in two separate campaigns of 194-195 AD and 197-199 AD.
The arch is elevated on a travertine base that was originally approached by steps from the ancient level of the Roman Forum. Its central archway is spanned by a beautifully coffered semicircular vault, while lateral openings lead to each side archway. This architectural feature, seen in many Early Modern triumphal arches, adds to the grandeur and symmetry of the structure.
The arch is supported by piers adorned with composite columns on pedestals. The spandrels feature relief carvings of Winged Victories, enhancing the artistic and symbolic elements of the arch. A staircase within the south pier provides access to the top of the monument. In the past, the arch's summit housed statues of Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons in a magnificent four-horse chariot (or quadriga), accompanied by soldiers.
Following Severus's death, Caracalla and Geta ruled as joint emperors. However, the relationship between the brothers was tumultuous. In 212 AD, Caracalla assassinated Geta, upon which all his memorials, depictions of and references to him were removed from the public spectrum. Consequently, Geta's image and inscriptions were also removed from the Arch of Septimius Severus.
Although the master architect who designed the arch remains unknown, his skillful craftsmanship is evident in the construction.
In the “Roman Holiday” movie, the memorable first meeting between Princess Ann and Joe Bradley takes place near the Arch of Septimius Severus. Ann, escaping the palace and under the influence of a sleeping pill, rests by the arch and the Temple of Saturn. Joe, leaving a poker game, finds her there and, unable to learn her address, takes her to his apartment by taxi.
Today, car traffic is prohibited in this area. And while you may well fall asleep there on the parapet and hope that Gregory Peck will pick you up, dreaming that he will catch a taxi and take you to his place on Via Margutta is a complete utopia.

13) Basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin (Basilica of Saint Mary in Cosmedin)
The Basilica of Saint Mary in Cosmedin, a minor basilica in Rome, is a historical church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Originally built in the 6th century as a deaconry, it served the Greek community of Rome and followed Eastern rites. Over time, it expanded and evolved, undergoing major renovations in the 8th and 12th centuries, when its bell tower was added. Today, the church is known not only for its architecture but also for its relics.
Among the most intriguing of them is a skull crowned with flowers, located in a side altar, believed to belong to Saint Valentine, the 3rd-century martyr. However, the true identity of this relic remains uncertain. Despite this ambiguity, it continues to draw interest, especially among those fascinated by the history of Valentine’s Day celebrated on February 14.
Still, perhaps the most famous attraction of the church is the Mouth of Truth. This massive marble mask, weighing about 1,300 kg (or 2,900 lbs), is believed to represent Oceanus, the Greco-Roman sea god. While its original function remains debated, theories suggest it was either a drain cover from the nearby Temple of Hercules Victor, used for sacrificial blood drainage, or a decorative element of the ancient Forum Boarium. By the 13th century, it was placed near the church, eventually moving to its current location in the 17th century.
The Mouth of Truth is best known for its medieval legend, which claims that anyone placing their hand inside and telling a lie will have their hand bitten off. Though this has never been proven (or at least, no official reports exist!), the myth has endured, attracting countless tourists eager to test their honesty—after paying a small fee, of course.
Its global fame skyrocketed in 1953, thanks to the film "Roman Holiday", starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. In a memorable and most hilarious scene, Peck pretends to lose his hand in the Mouth of Truth, terrifying Hepburn in a brilliant unscripted prank that the director decided to keep in the final cut. Hepburn’s genuine shock added a great deal of charm to the scene. The film’s success turned the site into an international tourist hotspot, with visitors lining up from 9 a.m. just to recreate the famous scene.
If you're in Rome, why not try your luck? Just remember to have some cash ready—because if not, you might have to pay in other ways... including, perhaps, your own hand...
