The zones of Rome (Italian: Zone di Roma) are toponymic subdivisions within the area of the Ager Romanus, belonging to the Municipalities of Rome and Fiumicino, Italy.

They constitute the fourth and final level of toponymy subdivisions of the Municipality of Rome and cover, considering only the areas within its competence, a surface of approximately 1,028 km2 (397 sq mi). The total resident population is 979,446 inhabitants.[1]

## History

By resolution of the Special Commissioner Nr. 2453 dated 13 September 1961, due to the new urbanization, the entire area of the Ager Romanus falling in the Municipality of Rome was divided into 59 areas, coded with the letter Z followed by Roman numbers.

In 1992, with the constitution of the Municipality of Fiumicino,[2] six whole areas and part of three others were assigned to the new Municipality, then officially suppressed with resolution of the Special Commissioner Nr. 1529 of 8 September 1993.
