Monte Sacro (quarter)
Monte Sacro is the 16th ''quartiere'' of the city of Rome in Italy. As a quarter, or second level administrative division, it is one of two that comprise the first level division of Municipio III. Monte Sacro takes its name from the namesake Monte Sacro hill. History Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the area became significantly depopulated, and ancient patrician villas were later replaced by medieval farmsteads. However, the zone was constantly controlled, as the Ponte Nomentano bridge was a relevant outpost and an important crossing point toward the northern Latium. Traditionally, Ponte Nomentano is considered the place where Pope Leo III met Charlemagne in 800. Because of the distance from the city, the territory became a place for jaunts and trips to the countryside, up to the beginning of the 19th century. According to the tradition, it was during a trip in Monte Sacro countryside in 1805 that Simon Bolivar took the oath to free the Latin American people, after h ...

Regions Of Italy
The regions of Italy ( it, regioni d'Italia) are the first-level administrative divisions of the Italian Republic, constituting its second NUTS administrative level. There are twenty regions, five of which have higher autonomy than the rest. Under the Italian Constitution, each region is an autonomous entity with defined powers. With the exception of the Aosta Valley (since 1945) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (since 2018), each region is divided into a number of provinces (''province''). History During the Kingdom of Italy, regions were mere statistical districts of the central state. Under the Republic, they were granted a measure of political autonomy by the 1948 Italian Constitution. The original draft list comprised the Salento region (which was eventually included in Apulia); ''Friuli'' and ''Venezia Giulia'' were separate regions, and Basilicata was named ''Lucania''. Abruzzo and Molise were identified as separate regions in the first draft, but were later merged into ''Abr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
