il Resto del Carlino is a daily newspaper based in the city of Bologna, and is one of the oldest newspapers in Italy. Its rather evocative name means 'the change you get from a carlino', which the smallest part of the Papal baiocco (no longer legal tender in united Italy but a word still used in Bologna to refer to 10 cent coins): a sheet of local news was given out in shops to make up for the change owing after buying a cigar (which was worth 8 cents).
