Trionfale

Trionfale is the 14th ''quartiere'' of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. XIV. The toponym also indicates the urban zone 19E of Municipio XIV.

History

Trionfale is among the first 15 ''quartieri'' of the city, originally delimited in 1911 and officially established in 1921. It takes its name from the Via Trionfale. During the Middle Age the pilgrims coming from the Via Francigena used to travel along this road in order to get to Rome. The little church of San Lazzaro in Borgo, where pilgrims had to stop before entering the city walls, bears witness to this.

Geography

Boundaries

To the north, the quarter borders with ''suburbio'' Della Vittoria (S. XI), from which it is separated by the stretch of Via Trionfale between Via della Pineta Sacchetti and Via Igea.

To the west, Trionfale borders with ''quartiere'' Della Vittoria (Q. XV), whose border is delineated by the stretch of Via Trionfale between Via Igea and Viale delle Milizie, as well as with ''rione'' Prati (R. XXII), the boundary being marked by Via Leone IV.

Southward, Trionfale shares its border with the Vatican City and with ''quartiere'' Aurelio, from which it is separated by Viale Vaticano, Via di Porta Pertusa, Via Aurelia, Via Anastasio II, Via Angelo Emo, Via di Valle Aurelia and Via del Pineto Torlonia.

To the east, the ''quartiere'' borders with ''quartiere'' Primavalle (Q. XXVII), whose boundary is delineated by Via della Pineta Sacchetti.
