About Rione Monti

Monti is the first rione, or historic district, of Rome, marked R. I and part of Municipio I. Its name means 'mountains' in Italian, because the Esquiline and Viminal hills and part of the Quirinal once lay within it. In ancient times it was densely populated and held the Roman Forum and the Suburra, the poor and disreputable quarter. From the Middle Ages to the early 19th century it remained an area of vineyards and vegetable gardens.
