Trams in Rome
tram system
The Rome tramway network (Italian: Rete tranviaria di Roma) composed of 6 tram lines operating in the city of Rome, Italy, part of the Rome’s public transport network.
The current tram system in Rome, is a leftover from what once was the largest tram system in Italy. The system is owned and operated by Azienda Tranvie e Autobus del Comune di Roma (ATAC SpA).
Network
The key node of the tram network in Rome is Porta Maggiore, where four out of six lines meet (3, 5, 14 and 19), as well as the Rome-Giardinetti railway. This is about 1 km east of Roma Termini railway station, and not connected to the metro network.
The following lines currently run:
Piazzale Flaminio ↔ Piazza Mancini
This short line runs through the Flaminio neighbourhood, connecting at Piazzale Flaminio (near the Porta del Popolo) with Line A and the Rome-Viterbo railway line.
Some runs of the 2 on weekdays (marked as 2/) run from Piazza Mancini to Piazza Risorgimento, running with the 19 across the Tevere to the Vatican.
Piazza Thorvaldsen (in the Villa Borghese) ↔ Trastevere railway station.
Partially reopened on 27 August 2012. This is the longest line after line 19, going round the city centre in a wide arc from north via east to south-west.

Why this record matters
“Trams in Rome” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Trams, Rome and tram provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q785655. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012.
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.
