Monte Sacro Alto (known predominantly informally as Talenti) is the 28th quartiere of the city of Rome in Italy, and it is identified by the initials Q. XXVIII. As a quarter, or second level administrative division, it is one of two that comprise the first level division or Municipality of Municipio III.
Monte Sacro Alto is situated in the north-eastern area of the capital.[2] The borough is locally referred to as Quartiere Talenti after the Talenti noble family who began developing the residential area on their estate in the 1950’s.[3] Achille Talenti, one of 20th century Italy’s most prolific urban planners and engineers, was responsible for the inception, realization and management of the borough.
