The days of the '50s and '60s are but lovely memories when all of Hollywood seemed to show up in Rome, and the paparazzi mobbed such Hollywood stars as Elizabeth Taylor and Ingrid Bergman along the Via Veneto. Even if you didn't see these major films previewed below at the time of their release, you can catch all of them on the late show. Movie buffs are fond of visiting the actual sites where these films were shot.

No street in Rome was more famous than the Via Veneto when Federico Fellini released his now classic La Dolce Vita in 1960. The chic of the street is long gone, but there was a time you could see Shelley Winters and Vittorio Gassman battling each other for the benefit of the paparazzi.

The stars of La Dolce Vita, Marcello Mastroianni and big-busted Anita Ekberg, also frolicked in the rococo Fountain of Trevi. Tourists still come here to toss coins in the fountain, as the actors did in the 1954 film Three Coins in the Fountain, which is said to ensure their return to The Eternal City.

It was on Via Margutta that Gregory Peck spent the night with his runaway princess, Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday (1953). Fellini and his wife, Giulietta Masina, once lived on this street as well. In one of Roman Holiday's most memorable scenes, the Bocca della Verità, at Santa Maria in Cosmedin, 18 Piazza della Verità, is still standing. This ancient stone face is said to bite those who dare to lie while sticking their hand in the "mouth of truth."

It was along Via Montecuccoli that Anna Magnani, playing Pina, was gunned down on her wedding day in one of the most unforgettable scenes from Roberto Rossellini's 1945 Rome, Open City.

More recent films include the 1999 movie The Talented Mr. Ripley, featuring the Machiavellian Tom Ripley, portrayed by Matt Damon, setting up a meeting here between Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett.

At the Palazzo dei Conservatory, at Piazza del Campodoglio, scenes from Jane Campion's Portrait of a Lady were shot in 1966. In the courtyard here, Nicole Kidman's character of Isabel Archer comes to face the cruel fact that her marriage is as fragmented as the pieces of Constantine's statue stacked against the wall.
