Salario (Rome)

Salario is the 4th quarter of Rome (Italy), identified with the initials Q. IV.

The toponym also indicates the Urban Zone 2D of the Municipio II of Rome Capital.

Odonyms of the quartiere can be categorized as follows: Salario is among the first 15 quartieri born in 1911 and officially established in 1921.

The area, crossed by Via Nomentana and Via Salaria, which originate from there, hosted hunting lodges and country residences since the 18th century, such as Villa Albani – still existing today and whose park occupies a good quarter of the territory – and Villa Patrizi (in the quarter Nomentano).

The latter stood immediately outside Porta Pia and was sacrificed to the needs of urban expansion of Rome after the unification of Italy.
