Piazza Venezia
In the story · The Vespa ride through the traffic
A real filming location. Ann takes the handlebars of Joe's Vespa and zigzags wildly through the traffic around the square, below the huge white monument to King Victor Emmanuel II, while Irving follows by car. The chaos ends at a police station.
