Trionfale (Italian pronunciation: [tri.oɱˈfaːle]) is the 14th quartiere of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. XIV. The toponym also indicates the urban zone 19E of Municipio XIV.

History

Trionfale is among the first 15 quartieri of the city, originally delimited in 1911 and officially established in 1921. It takes its name from the Via Trionfale. During the Middle Age the pilgrims coming from the Via Francigena used to travel along this road in order to get to Rome. The little church of San Lazzaro in Borgo, where pilgrims had to stop before entering the city walls, bears witness to this.

Geography

Boundaries

To the north, the quarter borders with suburbio Della Vittoria (S. XI), from which it is separated by the stretch of Via Trionfale between Via della Pineta Sacchetti and Via Igea.

To the west, Trionfale borders with quartiere Della Vittoria (Q. XV), whose border is delineated by the stretch of Via Trionfale between Via Igea and Viale delle Milizie, as well as with rione Prati (R. XXII), the boundary being marked by Via Leone IV.

Southward, Trionfale shares its border with the Vatican City and with quartiere Aurelio, from which it is separated by Viale Vaticano, Via di Porta Pertusa, Via Aurelia, Via Anastasio II, Via Angelo Emo, Via di Valle Aurelia and Via del Pineto Torlonia.

To the east, the quartiere borders with quartiere Primavalle (Q. XXVII), whose boundary is delineated by Via della Pineta Sacchetti.

Odonymy

Odonyms are focused, in the southern part of Trionfale, on prominent admirals, Navy heroes and naval combats; in the north-western area, streets and squares are mostly named after Italian war heroes (next to Viale delle Medaglie d'Oro) and ancient authors. The avenues within the park of Via Proba Petronia are named for Italian actors. Some streets close to Circonvallazione Trionfale are named after famous philosophers.
