districts is Monti, so called because once it included the Esquiline, Viminal,
part of the Quirinale and the Celio. It is the oldest district in Rome, and
there are testimonies of the Roman, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, a
succession of styles that cover 2500 years of history.
The present-day
aspect of the most significant area of the Monti district has narrow roads almost never on
the plain, affecting the urban fabric composed of tall buildings of various
ages, buildings of worn-out plasterwork and blackened by smog, where craft workshops
are opened , The nightclubs, the art galleries: it is the ancient Roman
Suburra, today Suburra (the name would mean "inhabited area beneath the
city", and it is the impression that it is drawn down into Piazza della
Suburra from the stairs of Via Cavour, near the metro line B, or climbing St.
Peter in Vincoli from the stairs of the Ascension of the Borgia, but also
descending from Via Nazionale to Via dei Serpenti or Via del Boschetto.).

Suburra enters the urban area ofAncient Rome when the Etruscan king of Servio Tullio chooses for his residence.
It is the most authentic and popular area of Ube, the site of the social and human contradictions of the capital of the Empire, crowded, dirty, noisy and especially dangerous, also due to the numerous fires and collapses involving insulae, tall buildings up Five storey where an unlimited number of plebeian families live in rented apartments, in the loud noise and colors. Substantial changes occur only under Sisto V (1585/1590), which realizes the aqueduct Felice, traces via Panisperna and system via the Serpents. In the Suburra there were - and some traces are still found today - the most disadvantaged brothels, the most insecure betters and inns. Julius Caesar also saw the natives in Svbvra, and according to tradition, Nero was dressed to test the moods of the people, and Messalina, in incognito, in search of transgression.
Though characterized by a restless and popular population, the Suburra area was included in the Royal IV Templum Pacis - whose northern boundary coincided with the ancient Clivus Suburanus (current Via dei Selci) - at the time Caesar Augustus (in 29 BC Appointed by the Emperor Senate), devoted himself to urban planning of the city that he ordered in fourteen regions. The Clivus Suburanus was a branch of the so-called Argiletum: a long way that after crossing the Suburana Valley, at the top of Cispius (constituting together with Fagutal and Oppius the Esquiline hill), was divided into the Vicus Patricius ) And Clivus Suburanus. The ancient route of the Argeletum is still recognizable in the main street of the area, via Madonna dei Monti, along which there are seamless, medieval houses, seventeenth-century houses and palaces of the eighteenth century, still inhabited by a proud population of Reside in the first district of Rome and retain "in the language, habits, ways and traditions the values of a still Roman city".
