Administrative Subdivision Of Rome
The city of Rome, Italy, is divided into first-level administrative subdivisions. There are 15 ''municipi'' (: ''municipio'') in the city; each ''municipio'' is governed by a president and a council who are elected directly by its residents every five years. The ''municipi'' collectively comprise the ''comune'' of Rome, which is itself one of the constituent parts of the wider Metropolitan City of Rome Capital.
