Administrative Subdivision Of Rome
The city of Rome, Italy is divided into first-level administrative subdivisions. There are 15 ''municipi'' (singular: ''municipio'') in the city; each ''municipio'' is governed by a president and a council who are elected directly by its residents every five years. The ''municipi'' collectively comprise the comune of Rome, which is itself one of the constituent parts of the wider metropolitan city of Rome Capital. History On 31 March 1966, for administrative purposes and to increase decentralization, the territory of the ''comune'' of Rome was divided into 12 administrative areas, called ''circoscrizioni'' (singular: ''circoscrizione''). On 11 February 1972 those areas were increased to 20. On 6 March 1992, after the referendum that ratified the separation of the then ''Circoscrizione XIV'' from Rome and the birth of the new independent ''comune'' of Fiumicino, the number of administrative areas of Rome decreased to 19. On 19 January 2001, ''circoscrizioni'' which were renamed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
