Pigneto is one of the historic districts of Rome, located east of the city centre. Its history dates back to the 19th century, when the first Italian railway connecting Rome to Naples was built. The district got its name from the circumstance that it was surrounded by pine trees, which were used to produce resin.
In recent years, Pigneto has become increasingly fashionable, thanks to the presence of numerous clubs, restaurants, bars and shops. The district has undergone a major urban redevelopment that has led to the creation of new squares, gardens and pedestrian paths.
Today, Pigneto is one of the liveliest and most interesting neighbourhoods in Rome, popular with both Roman youth and tourists, who love to stroll through its streets, discover its trendy clubs and enjoy its cosmopolitan atmosphere.
