History

[edit]

Nomentano is among the first 15 quarters of the city, which were born in 1911 and officially established in 1921. It included initially only the area of San Lorenzo, but starting from 1931 it began to expand towards the Via Prenestina, incorporating part of the then Suburbio Tiburtino up to Via di Portonaccio.

Geography

[edit]

The territory of Tiburtino includes the urban zones 3B San Lorenzo and 3Y Verano, as well as a portion of the urban zones 3X Università and 5A Casal Bertone.

Boundaries

[edit]

Northward, the quarter borders with Quartiere Nomentano (Q. V), whose border is marked by Via del Castro Laurenziano and by the stretch of Via Tiburtina between the latter and Circonvallazione Tiburtina. It also shares a short border with Quartiere Pietralata (Q. XXI), which is delineated by the stretch of Via Tiburtina between Circonvallazione Tiburtina and Via di Portonaccio.

Eastward, Nomentano borders with Quartiere Collatino (Q. XXII), whose boundary is entirely outlined by Via di Portonaccio.

To the south, the quarter borders with Quartiere Prenestino-Labicano (Q. VII), from which is separated by the portion of Via Prenestina between Largo Preneste and Piazzale Labicano.

To the west, Nomentano borders with Rione Esquilino (R. XV) and with Rione Castro Pretorio (R. XVIII): the boundary is marked by the Aurelian Walls up to Viale dell'Università, then by Viale dell'Università itself.
