title: Trionfale
text: # Trionfale
  
  Trionfale (Italian pronunciation:) is the 14th quartiere of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. XIV. The toponym also indicates the urban zone 19E of Municipio XIV.
  
  ## History
  
  Trionfale is among the first 15 quartieri of the city, originally delimited in 1911 and officially established in 1921. It takes its name from the Via Trionfale. During the Middle Age the pilgrims coming from the Via Francigena used to travel along this road in order to get to Rome. The little church of San Lazzaro in Borgo, where pilgrims had to stop before entering the city walls, bears witness to this.
