Tiburtino
6th quarter of Rome, Italy
Tiburtino is the 6th quartiere of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. VI. The name derives from the ancient road Via Tiburtina. It belongs to the Municipio II, Municipio IV and Municipio V.
History
Nomentano is among the first 15 quarters of the city, which were born in 1911 and officially established in 1921. It included initially only the area of San Lorenzo, but starting from 1931 it began to expand towards the Via Prenestina, incorporating part of the then Suburbio Tiburtino up to Via di Portonaccio.
Geography
The territory of Tiburtino includes the urban zones 3B San Lorenzo and 3Y Verano, as well as a portion of the urban zones 3X Università and 5A Casal Bertone.
Boundaries
Northward, the quarter borders with Quartiere Nomentano (Q. V), whose border is marked by Via del Castro Laurenziano and by the stretch of Via Tiburtina between the latter and Circonvallazione Tiburtina. It also shares a short border with Quartiere Pietralata (Q. XXI), which is delineated by the stretch of Via Tiburtina between Circonvallazione Tiburtina and Via di Portonaccio.
Eastward, Nomentano borders with Quartiere Collatino (Q. XXII), whose boundary is entirely outlined by Via di Portonaccio.
To the south, the quarter borders with Quartiere Prenestino-Labicano (Q. VII), from which is separated by the portion of Via Prenestina between Largo Preneste and Piazzale Labicano.
To the west, Nomentano borders with Rione Esquilino (R. XV) and with Rione Castro Pretorio (R. XVIII): the boundary is marked by the Aurelian Walls up to Viale dell'Università, then by Viale dell'Università itself.

Why this record matters
The phrase “6th quarter of Rome, Italy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q954304. The first chronological checks are 1911, 1921 and 1931.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
