L'Edicola at via Roma 268 is the newspaper and tobacco shop of the main village, a few steps from the pharmacy and from the piazza Tiraboschi bus stop. The Pro Loco simply calls it L'Edicola, the newsagent; in the council's list it appears as Tabaccheria Carrara Alessandro, in the newsagent and tobacco category, and on OpenStreetMap as Edicola Carrara Alessandro.

For people on holiday it is useful above all for three things: it is open every morning from 7.15, Sunday included; it is tobacco shop no. 1 in the municipality, with a vending machine within ten metres according to the register of the Customs and Monopolies Agency; and it is a Punto Poste, where you can send prepaid parcels and collect or return online purchases even when the post office at via Roma 189 is closed.

The opening hours match in two independent sources: the Poste Italiane page for the Punto Poste, where the shop appears under the name «Tabaccheria N. 1», and the OpenStreetMap survey updated on 15 September 2026.

Tobacco: what the Customs and Monopolies Agency records

In the ADM register the newsagent is ordinary tobacco shop no. 1 in Oltre il Colle, active and with no closing periods listed. It is also the only one of the municipality's three tobacco shops with a vending machine within ten metres, useful if you need cigarettes outside opening hours; the register also gives it a ricevitoria number, the code the Agency uses for tobacco shops linked to the Lotto game.

The other two active tobacco shops are in the hamlets: no. 3 in the Zorzone grocery, at via Pascusa 83, and no. 4 at via Fezzoli 103 in Zambla Alta.

How to get there and where to park
