Pinciano is the 3rd quartiere of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. III. The name derives from the Pincian Hill. It belongs to the Municipio II.
== History == Pinciano is among the first 15 quartieri of the city, originally delimited in 1911 and officially established in 1921. Previously, it was informally called Quartiere Sebastiani or Quartiere Pinciano (limited to the part between Via Pinciana and Via Salaria) or even Quartiere dei Fiumi (District of the Rivers), since several streets, near to the border with quartiere Salario, were named after Italian rivers.
