Planning notes for Rome
The Esquilino district is the 15th rione of Rome, situated on the highest of the city's seven hills. Historically, the area functioned as a suburban zone outside the Servian Walls until its incorporation within the Aurelian Walls during the imperial era. The current urban layout dates largely to the late 19th century, following the unification of Italy, when the district was developed as a residential center for the new capital's administrative class.
