Rione

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Rione (plural: rioni) is the name given to a ward in several Italian cities, the best-known of which is Rome. Unlike a quartiere, a rione is usually an official administrative subdivision. The word derives from the Latin regio (the genitive regionis accounting for the n).
