	Rioni of Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rioni were established for the first time in the 4th century BC by Servius Tullius: they were only four and they were called regiones (the plural of regio).
		After the fall of the Roman empire and the decline of Rome as a cultural center, the population decreased and the political division in rioni was lost.
		The limits of the rioni became more definitive and official in the 13th century: their number increased to 13 and it remained like this until the 16th century.

	Rioni: The Districts of Rome
		All of the 18th century Rioni are subdivisions of the area bounded by the Aurelian walls (3rd-4th century A.D.), the Renaissance walls around Borgo and the Baroque walls around Trastevere.
		The borders of these Rioni bore no relationship to those of the Augustan regions, but were determined arbitrarily so as to provide areas of comparable population.
		Thus the dense part of the city was divided into small Rioni, while the emptier, eastern part of Rome within the walls was assigned to four large Rioni (Monti, Trevi, Campitelli and Ripa).

		Project Objectives The objective for the proposed reconstruction of flood-damaged infrastructure component would be to improve and secure the sustainability of river flood protection works and irrigation headworks and canals, which, if unattended, could lead to increased flooding occurrences and infrastructure damage, and subsequent human life and economic losses.
		The floods caused destruction or damage of infrastructure, including river embankments and irrigation headworks and canals, cut off large parts of affected districts, and affected thousands of hectares of farmlands, often in the poorest areas of the country.
		It is not excluded that some funding will be provided to also carry out river bank protection along some of the mountainous rivers as well, in case this is identified by government as a priority after compiling the final flood damage information at the end of the flood season in July.
