Talk:Administrative subdivisions of Rome

List of districts

The list of districts needs some of its Wiki links clarifying/removing - they link to non-Rome pages

Suggested corrections

Vallerano, for example, links to a borough in northern Lazio, and not to the neighborhood/ward in Rome.

Verano should be linked directly to the Cemetery of Verano (cf the disambiguation page) rather than to the disambiguation page itself. Besides, Verano is just a cemetery and not a neighbourhood or ward, so probably it doesn't even fit in this list.

Need for a better name

@Matthew hk: I don't like the present name "Administrative subdivision of Rome". It is too vague. I want to know the exact name of the entity that has 15 municipos. Is is "Special Municipality"? It's got to have some kind of name. And what it the name of all the other local government entities that are in Metropolitan City of Rome Capital but which are not in this particular subdivision ? Are those other 120 things just called comunes? Is there not a hierarchy of comumes or is there just simply Rome and 120 others? Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:04, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Rome is a special comune which comune itself was translated as municipality everywhere in Italy, so it is confusing when the title became "Municipalities of Rome [Municipality]". This bold move is too much and please start WP:RM discussion. Matthew hk (talk) 11:06, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

@Matthew hk: I'm just trying to understand the structure of local government in Italy, that's all. From what you've written above, it seems that Municipio III is a municipality within the city of Rome which is itself a municipality within the Metropolitan Capital which is within the region of Lazio. So then the hierarchy is Region (Lazio) → Province or Metropolitan City (Metropolitan City of Rome Capital) → Municipality (the city of Rome or part of it) → Comune (Municipio III). Is this correct? If so it's very confusing. I don't like the step → Municipality → Municipality. There must be some other name that can be used to distinguish between two very different layers.

municipality is the translation of comune. Rome is a comune, Rome is a municipality . So anything within Rome , please provide RS for the right translation, or leave it as foreign term. Matthew hk (talk) 13:04, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

That's not really helping me. Can you suggest a structure or hierarchy and naming convention? Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:33, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Google reliable source about the subject. We don't usually made naming conversion ourselves, except foo [railway] station. Since Rome had parallel Municipio + Rioni / Quarters/zone/suburb and Zone urbanistiche subdivisions, it does not mean much to translate the term to English. it does not match district actually.

The name should take the plural form: "Administrative subdivisions". Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:42, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
