Pinciano is the 3rd quartiere of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. III. The name derives from the Pincian Hill. It belongs to the Municipio II.
Pinciano is among the first 15 quartieri of the city, originally delimited in 1911 and officially established in 1921. Previously, it was informally called Quartiere SebastianiorQuartiere Pinciano (limited to the part between Via Pinciana and Via Salaria) or even Quartiere dei Fiumi (District of the Rivers), since several streets, near to the border with quartiereSalario, were named after Italian rivers.
Later, the quartiere was named Vittorio Emanuele III after the King of Italy, but in 1946 it regained its original name.[3]
Northward, the quartiere borders with Parioli (Q. II), from which is separated by the whole Viale Maresciallo Pilsudski, by the whole Viale dei Parioli and by the whole Viale Liegi, up to Via Salaria.
Eastward, it borders with the quartiereSalario (Q. IV), whose boundary is marked by the stretch of Via Salaria, between Viale Regina Margherita and Piazza Fiume.
Southward, it borders with the rioneLudovisi (R. XVI), the boundary being outlined by the Aurelian walls alongside Corso d'Italia, from Piazza Fiume up to Piazzale Brasile (Porta Pinciana). To the south, it also borders with the rioneCampo Marzio (R. IV), from which is separated by the stretch of the Aurelian walls alongside Viale del Muro Torto, from Piazzale Brasile up to Piazzale Flaminio (Porta del Popolo).
Westward, it borders with Flaminio (R. I), whose border is marked by Via Flaminia, between Piazzale Flaminio (Porta del Popolo) and Viale Maresciallo Pilsudski.
