Monti (rione Of Rome)
Monti is the 1st of Rome, Italy, identified by the initials R. I, located in Municipio I. The name literally means 'mountains' in Italian and comes from the fact that the Esquiline, the Viminal Hills, and parts of the Quirinal and the Caelian Hills belonged to this : currently, however, the Esquiline Hill belongs to the rione Esquilino. The coat of arms consists of three green mountains with three tops on a silver background. History In ancient times, the ''rione'' was densely populated; Monti was home to the Forum Romanum and the so-called '' Suburra,'' where poor people lived, full of disreputable locals and brothels. In the Middle Ages the situation was completely different: the Roman aqueducts were damaged, and it was very difficult to bring water to Monti since it was on the hills. Hence many inhabitants moved to Campus Martius, a lower level part, where they could drink the water from the river Tiber. From the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 19th century, ...
