{"id":596,"count":0,"description":"Rome is a very large city beyond the <strong>Aurelian Walls<\/strong>, reaching to the coast of Ostia, on a heterogeneous territory with a number of parks, natural and river reserves, and even agricultural zones.\r\nGiven the significant urban expansion of the era, new districts were defined in 1921, modified in 1961. Many of them were named after the ancient Roman roads crossing them, leaving Rome through historic gates and often becoming major traffic routes.\r\nGenerally, these Roman roads are lined with substantial antiquity remains, such as tombs and catacombs. It remained countryside until the late 19th century when modern urbanism began radically to change the landscape, relatively stabilizing by mid-20th century (see <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quartieri_di_Roma\">Quartieri di Roma on Wikipedia<\/a>).\r\nHere, we identify districts generally by the name of the Roman roads crossing them. Each has developed its own identity over time, according to their geography, type of developments and populations settled, and their social and popular history.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/appia-and-tuscolana-neighborhood\/\"><strong>Appia and Tuscolana<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/voie-appienne.jpg\" alt=\"Appia - Tuscolano \" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>This is an opportunity for one of the most notable visits outside the walls of Rome, with the <strong>Appian Way Archaeological Park<\/strong> running along this Roman road for many kilometers, the main <strong>catacombs<\/strong> of the city, and several remarkable adjacent parks. Between the large avenues of Tuscolana and Appia Nuova, it is a modern district urbanized during the 20th century, where the important <strong>Cinecitt\u00e0<\/strong> studios were established.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/pigneto-prenestino-and-centocelle\/\"><strong>Pigneto and Prenestino<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/spqr.jpg\" alt=\"roma\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>The Via Prenestina leads away from Rome through Porta Maggiore, first passing through the <strong>Pigneto<\/strong> district, which has been one of the liveliest parts of the city for at least two decades, with associations, artists, bars, and a rich nightlife. Further on are mainly residential and working-class neighborhoods of Prenestino and Centocelle, developed during the 20th century.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/tiburtino-and-san-lorenzo\/\"><strong>San Lorenzo and Tiburtino<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/san-lorenzo.jpg\" alt=\"San Lorenzo - university \" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>Just beyond the Aurelian Walls near Termini station, <strong>San Lorenzo<\/strong> is a district of popular culture and historically antifascist, now a student area with the seat of <strong>La Sapienza University<\/strong>, lively in the evening with many bars and clubs. It also contains the very old basilica of <strong>Saint Lawrence Outside the Walls<\/strong> and the <strong>monumental cemetery of Vomero<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/nomentana-and-salaria-neighborhood\/\"><strong>Nomentana and Salaria<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/nomentana-salaria.jpg\" alt=\"Salaria - Nomentana \" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>To the northeast of the city, Via Salaria and Via Nomentana were important Roman routes that today cross residential neighborhoods, including the fanciful Art Nouveau urban complex of <strong>Copped\u00e8<\/strong>. The Salaria borders the south of the large public park of <strong>Villa Ada<\/strong>, passes by the catacombs of Priscilla, and reaches the Aniene river. Along the Nomentana, one can also visit the <strong>Villa Torlonia<\/strong> and the <strong>complex of Saint Agnes<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/flaminio-olimpico-and-parioli\/\"><strong>Flaminio, Olimpico, Parioli<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/parioli-marmi-olimpico.jpg\" alt=\"Quartier Olimpico, Parioli, Flaminio\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>Heading north of Rome from Porta del Popolo, Via Flaminia runs along the Tiber and crosses neighborhoods built mostly during the 20th century: <strong>Flaminio<\/strong> to the west, with several museums and former industries, <strong>Pinciano<\/strong> and <strong>Parioli<\/strong> to the east with multiple embassies, the park of <strong>Villa Borghese<\/strong>, an Olympic village, and the <strong>Auditorium<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/della-vittoria-and-montemario-neighborhood\/\"><strong>Della Vittoria, Trionfale and Montemario<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/montemario.jpg\" alt=\"Trionfale, Montemario\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>Between the hill of <strong>Montemario<\/strong> to the west with its panorama and nature reserve, and the Tiber to the east, the plain of the Della Vittoria district (formerly called Milvio) mixes institutions and residences, with to the north the sports facilities of the <strong>Foro Italico<\/strong>, including the football stadium and others, some dating back to the fascist era.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/monteverde-portuense-and-aurelia-districts\/\"><strong>Monteverde, Portuense and Aurelia<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/spqr.jpg\" alt=\"Monteverde - Portuense - Aurelia \" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>On the <strong>Janiculum<\/strong> hill west of Trastevere, the Aurelian Walls were crossed by the Via Aurelia. It is now an elegant district of <strong>Monteverde Alto<\/strong> near the large public park of <strong>Villa Pamphilj<\/strong>. Below, lower Monteverde (or Gianicolense) and along Via Portuense are livelier and more popular.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/ostiense-garbatella-and-eur\/\"><strong>Ostiense, Ardeatino, EUR and Garbatella<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/plan\/PHOTOS\/quartier-eur.jpg\" alt=\"Quartier Ostiense, EUR\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/>To the south of Rome, the Roman road led to the port of Ostia on the coast.
