The weekly satirical magazine Marc'Aurelio founded by Oberdan Catone and Vito De Bellis in 1931 had its offices here at Via Rasella. When Federico Fellini moved to Rome, he earned his living by selling cartoons, gags, and stories to Marc’Aurelio. The magazine gave him steady employment between 1939 and 1942, when he interacted with writers, gagmen, and scriptwriters. These encounters eventually led to opportunities in show business and cinema.

Many other young collaborators of the magazine later made successful careers in the Italian film industry, including Steno, Vittorio Metz, Ettore Scola, Cesare Zavattini, Age & Scarpelli, and Ruggero Maccari.
