Settecamini, Residential zone in eastern Rome, Italy.
Settecamini is a residential zone on the eastern edge of Rome, lying along the Via Tiburtina near the Grande Raccordo Anulare. It borders the municipality of Guidonia Montecelio and is connected to surrounding districts by main roads.
The area developed during the Roman Republic along the Via Tiburtina, an ancient road lined with inns and country houses. In the Middle Ages, it was known as Campo dei Setti Fratelli, a name that kept the memory of early settlement along that route.
The zone has a Franciscan church that serves as a gathering point for residents. Street names across the area pay tribute to industrialists and medieval figures connected to the Sabina region nearby.
The zone is easy to reach by car via the Via Tiburtina or the Grande Raccordo Anulare, and public transport connects it to central Rome. Most points of interest are clustered around the residential blocks and the church, making it simple to explore on foot once you arrive.
The name of this zone traces back to an old industrial building called Il Fornaccio, which had seven tall chimneys that stood out in the landscape. Those chimneys were so visible that people began calling the whole settlement after them, and the name stuck long after the building disappeared.
