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. History The first 15 quarters were officially founded and numbered in 1926, after first being drafted in 1911. As of 1930 there were two more unofficial quarters: the quarter XVI, which was called Città Giardino Aniene in 1924; and the quarter XVII, that was named Savoia in 1926. These two were later officially renamed, the XVII becoming ''Trieste'' in 1946 and the XVI becoming ''Monte Sacro'' in 1951. Other quarters have been renamed: the quarter XV, previously called Milvio, became ''Della Vittoria'' in 1935, while the III, once known as Vittorio Emanuele III in honor of the King of Italy, was renamed ''Pinciano'' in 1946.

Traditionally, Ponte Nomentano is considered the place where Pope Leo III met Charlemagne in 800.
