Borgo (sometimes called also I Borghi), is the 14th historic district (rione) of Rome, Italy. It lies on the west bank of the Tiber, within Municipio I, and it has a trapezoidal shape. Its coat of arms shows a lion (after the name "Leonine City", which was also given to the district), lying in front of three mounts and a star. These - together with a lion rampant - are also part of the coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V who annexed Borgo as fourteenth rione to the city of Rome. The Borgo is bordered by Vatican City (Saint Peter's Square) to the west, the Tiber to the east, Prati to the north, the quartiere ''Aurelio'' to the southwest and Trastevere to the south. The territory of the quarter includes a level part, which is made of the alluvial sands of Tiber, and a hilly zone, which coincides with the clay-laden slopes of the Vatican hill. In administrative terms, the Borgo, following the city decree n.11 issued on 11 March 2013, became part of the Center (I Municipio). 〔(Deliberazione n. 11 - 11/372013 - Roma Capitale )〕 Before then, he was part of the ''XVII Municipio'', together with the rione of Prati (also moved to the I Municipio in that occasion) and the quartieri ''Trionfale'' and ''Della Vittoria'' (around ''Piazza Mazzini''). The main roads run east-west and (with the noteworthy exception of the modern ''Via della Conciliazione'') are not named ''Vie'', but ''Borghi''. Although heavily transformed during the first half of the 20th century, the Borgo maintains its historical importance as a forecourt to Saint Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Palace. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borgo (rione of Rome)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
