The "Brasile" and "Berlitz" signs seen here can be seen briefly in the movie's previous sequences. And, here's the policeman who flagged them down.

Diego and Giorgio write: "On the left, the sign "brasile' is the name of Bar Brasile that does still exist today (with the same name) on Via del Corso."
