• Source: Regola

Regola is the 7th rione of Rome, Italy, identified by the initials R. VII, and belongs to the Municipio I. The name comes from Arenula (the name is recognizable in the modern Via Arenula), which was the name of the soft sand (rena in Italian) that the river Tiber left after the floods, and that built strands on the left bank.
The inhabitants of the rione are called Regolanti. They were nicknamed mangiacode ('tail-eaters'), after the typical dish coda alla vaccinara, which was a specialty of the many vaccinari ('butchers') of the rione.
The seal of the rione represents a rampant deer with a turquoise background.




History


During the Roman Empire, the area belonged to the Campus Martius. In particular, in the modern Regola there was the trigarium, the stadium where the riders of the triga (a cart with three horses) used to train.
When Emperor Augustus divided Rome into 14 regions, the modern Regola belonged was included in the IX region called Circus Flaminius. In the Middle Ages it entered the fourth of the seven new ecclesiastic regions, even if at that time the limits of the rioni were not very clear.
Because of the very frequent floods of the river Tiber, the area was unhealthy and it was drained at the end of the Middle Ages.
In 1586, when rione Borgo was established, the number of the rioni increased to 14, and Regola became the 7th, with the name of Arenulae et Chacabariorum.
In 1875, after the walls to stop the floods of the Tiber were built, the look of the area changed completely, removing all the things that grew up close to the river during the centuries.
Though small, the rione contains many kinds of buildings: palaces, hospitals, churches, embassies, ancient prisons and poor houses.
