The Quarters of Rome (Italian: quartieri di Roma) are the areas in and around the Italian city of Rome which became urbanised after the foundation of the last city-centre rione , Prati.
They form the second level of administrative sub-divisions of Roma Capitale. Together they cover 171.38 km2 and hold 1483913 inhabitants. [1]
The first 15 quarters were officially founded and numbered in 1926, [2] after first being drafted in 1911.
As of 1930 there were two more unofficial quarters: the quarter XVI, which was called Città Giardino Aniene [3] in 1924; and the quarter XVII, that was named Savoia [4] in 1926. These two were later officially renamed, the XVII becoming Trieste [5] in 1946 and the XVI becoming Monte Sacro [6] in 1951. Other quarters have been renamed: the quarter XV, previously called Milvio, became Della Vittoria [7] in 1935, while the III, once known as Vittorio Emanuele III in honor of the King of Italy, was renamed Pinciano in 1946.
In 1961, [8] 18 more quarters were established and numbered XVIII to XXXV. Some of the new quarters were created dismembering five eastern suburbs of the city, some others were established in the rural area around the city, the so called Agro Romano (the remaining part of the Agro Romano was divided into zones in the same year).
