Wind Stores in Rome?
 
I'd like to pick up a prepaid Wind SIM card upon getting to Rome. I'm flying into Fiumicino and my hotel is located close to Termini station.

Does anyone know the specific location of any Wind stores so I needn't look around for one?

Also, anyone buy a "Dialoga International" prepaid calling card while in Rome and if so, where?

I can offer two TIM store locations, but I don't know where any WIND stores are specifically.

I can't be specific, but we used a Wind store two or three blocks off Via Cavour (our hotel was near the Colesseum on Via Cavour, and the store was about 6 blocks away; I just don't remember the street).

I was surprised that there were not as many mobile phone stores in Rome as in other cities we visited.

Perhaps there is a Wind website with store locations.

As I have thought more about your question, you should be able to buy a card at numerous shops, without having to find a Wind store. I suggest trying tobacco and/or news shops at Termini. I'm not an expert, but once we had the phone,d we were able to buy cards pretty easily.
