Quarters of Rome

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]

History

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).
