It is mainly a residential area, but also hosts many offices, institutional headquarters, audiovisual services, as well as the vast sports complex of the <strong>Foro Italico<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nIn the 1911 city plan, it was designated as <em>Milvio district<\/em>, in reference to the bridge of the same name. In 1930, it was officially given the name <em>Della Vittoria<\/em> in memory of the victory of the First World War. Under the Fascist regime, from 1938 it was sometimes referred to as <em>delle Vittorie district<\/em>, in connection with the Ethiopian conquest, before returning to its current name after the war.\r\n<h2>Landmarks of the district<\/h2>\r\nThe southern boundary, marked by Via delle Milizie, separates it from the Prati district. It consists of a residential fabric interspersed with large avenues and squares, as well as various institutes, radio and television headquarters (including RAI, the Italian Radiotelevision), and some museums such as the house of Alberto Moravia or the Casa Balla.\r\nFurther north, the <strong>Foro Italico<\/strong>, built between 1928 and 1938, includes Rome\u2019s main sports facilities: the <strong>Stadio Olimpico<\/strong>, tennis courts, swimming pools, the <strong>Stadium of the Marbles<\/strong>, the Mussolini Obelisk, and various university buildings erected in the style of the Fascist era.\r\nTo the west, <strong>Monte Mario<\/strong>, the highest point in the city, offers a wide panorama over Rome and hosts an old observatory, a military fort, a natural park, and walking paths. Further north, on another elevation, lies the <strong>French Military Cemetery<\/strong>, inaugurated after the Second World War and enjoying a privileged position.\r\n[su_note note_color=\"#f7ece1\" text_color=\"#333333\"]\r\n<h3>Historical Overview<\/h3>\r\nThe <strong>Battle of the Milvian Bridge<\/strong> took place in 312 AD near the bridge, when <strong>Constantine<\/strong> defeated <strong>Maxentius<\/strong> for the imperial title. According to tradition, Constantine had a vision of a cross before the confrontation, a vision which, after his victory, led him to turn towards Christianity.\r\n\r\nThe flat land, close to the gates of Rome, often served as a camp for the city\u2019s besiegers: the Vandals of Genseric, the Goths of Odoacer, the Byzantines of Belisarius, or even the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Landsknecht\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Landsknechts<\/a> during the sack of 1527.\r\n\r\nVillas were built here from Antiquity, such as that of the poet Martial. During the Renaissance, the Strozzi family built a villa at the foot of Monte Mario, and the Medici the <b>Villa Madama<\/b>.\r\n\r\nIn the 19th century, the area was known as the Parade Ground, used for military training. Urbanization began at the end of the century and intensified around 1911, during the Exhibition of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Italian Unification, when many streets were named after figures of the <strong>Risorgimento<\/strong>. The villas along the Lungotevere then adopted Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance styles.\r\n\r\nThe 1930s marked a new phase of construction under <strong>Fascism<\/strong>, with the Farnesina (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the Palazzo delle Poste, and later, the headquarters of RAI (1950\u20131960). Between 1927 and 1932, at the foot of Monte Mario, the Forum Mussolini was built, today known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/foro-italico\/\">Foro Italico<\/a> (<em>Italic Forum<\/em>), which brings together Rome\u2019s main sports facilities in a project by Enrico del Debbio.\r\n\r\n[\/su_note]\r\n<h2>Monuments and sites of the district<\/h2>\r\n[catlist post_type=site taxonomies_and=\"interet:{interet-4,interet-3,interet-2,interet-1};genre:{antique,monument,palais,pont,parc,rue,fontaine,lieu-site-quartier,quartier,sanctuaire-religieux,place,eglise,musee};quartier:{trionfale-et-montemario}\" excerpt=yes thumbnail=yes force_thumbnail=yes thumbnail_class=classthumblist thumbnail_size=70,50 excerpt_size=12 orderby=date]\r\n<h2>Other sites<\/h2>\r\n[catlist post_type=site taxonomies_and=\"interet:{interet-0};genre:{antique,monument,palais,eglise,parc,place,fontaine,lieu-site-quartier,pont,rue,sanctuaire-religieux,quartier};quartier:{trionfale-et-montemario}\" excerpt=yes thumbnail=yes force_thumbnail=yes thumbnail_class=classthumblist thumbnail_size=70,50 excerpt_size=12 orderby=date]\r\n<h2>Sites of the Della Vittoria and Monte Mario district<\/h2>\r\n[travelers-map height=450px post_types=site custom_tax=\"quartier=trionfale-et-montemario\" max_cluster_radius=20]","link":"https:\/\/www.rome-roma.net\/en\/district\/della-vittoria-and-montemario-neighborhood\/","name":"Della Vittoria and Montemario neighborhood","slug":"della-vittoria-and-montemario-neighborhood","taxonomy":"quartier","parent":596,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Della Vittoria and Montemario neighborhood &ndash;
