History

Prenestino-Labicano is among the first 15 quarters of the city, which were born in 1911 and were officially established in 1921. In 1961 its territory was split in two parts, and the portion between Viale della Primavera and Viale Palmiro Togliatti became the new quartiere Prenestino-Centocelle (Q. XIX).

Geography

The quartiere is located in the eastern part of Rome, just behind the Aurelian Walls and Porta Maggiore.

Boundaries

To the north, the quarter borders with Quartiere Tiburtino (Q. VI), from which it is separated by the stretch of Via Prenestina between Piazzale Labicano and Largo Preneste, and with Quartiere Collatino (Q. XXII), the boundary being outlined by the stretch of Via Prenestina between Largo Preneste and Via Tor de' Schiavi.

Eastward, Prenestino-Labicano borders with Quartiere Prenestino-Centocelle, whose border is delineated by Via Tor de' Schiavi and Viale della Primavera.

Southward, the quarter borders with Quartiere Don Bosco (Q. XXIV), from which it is separated by the stretch of Via Casilina between Viale della Primavera and Via di Centocelle, as well as with Quartiere Tuscolano (Q. VIII), whose border is marked by the remaining portion of Via Casilina, up to Piazzale Labicano.

To the west, the quarter only shares a short border, crossing Piazzale Labicano, with Rione Esquilino (R. XV).
