Monteverde (Rome)

Monteverde is an urban zone of the quarter Gianicolense in Rome, Italy.

It is located just outside the Aurelian walls, south of the Janiculum hill and southwest of Trastevere.

[1] Monteverde is a residential area outside of Rome's historical centre.

Monteverde is home to The American University of Rome[2] as well as the American Academy in Rome and an undergraduate program specializing in Classical archaeology, the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies.

Monteverde was the main base of operations for the Proietti Clan, a criminal organization led by Franco Nicolini and the Proietti brothers, until their destruction in the early 80s at the hands of the Banda della Magliana.
