The Monti District, the first rione of Rome (R. I), is located in Municipio I. Historically, it corresponds to the ancient Subura and the Quirinal Hill, which were densely populated areas in ancient Rome.
Its name is linked to the hills it encompasses, including the Esquiline and the Viminal.
Once a popular area with many artisans and lower-class residents, Monti contrasted with the neighboring aristocratic districts.
Today, it retains a bohemian charm and preserves an authentic character with its narrow cobbled streets such as Via Urbana, and its lively squares like Piazza della Madonna dei Monti. Favored by artists and young people, it hosts numerous vintage shops, artisan workshops, and trendy cafés.
Among its monuments are the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Basilica of Saint Peter in Chains, and remains such as the Domus Aurea.
Its coat of arms, depicting three green hills on a silver background, symbolizes the three hills within its territory.
