Municipio VII

Municipio VII is an administrative district in southeastern Rome with sixteen urban zones including Tuscolano Nord, Appio, and Latino, spread across roughly 47 square kilometers. The area blends residential blocks from different periods with Cinecittà Studios and sites like the Parco degli Acquedotti.

The area was settled in ancient times, with Roman roads like Via Latina and Via Asinaria running through agricultural estates. Modern development accelerated in the 20th century with the founding of Cinecittà Studios in 1937 and the later expansion of residential neighborhoods.

Cinecittà Studios shapes the district's cultural identity as a center of Italian film production, where visitors can experience the same sets and locations where legendary Italian cinema was created. The place weaves film history into the everyday life of residents, showing how cinema and urban development intertwine here.

The district is well connected through several railway stations and major roads linking different parts of southeastern Rome. When exploring, it helps to use public transportation since the neighborhoods are spread out and different attractions are located in various spots.

The Parco degli Acquedotti is often overlooked, offering walks among ancient Roman aqueducts while modern residential buildings and entertainment facilities stand nearby. This unusual mix of ruins and modernity makes the park an unexpected contrast within everyday urban life.
