Municipio I is an administrative subdivision of the municipality of Rome, encompassing the centre of the city.
It was first created by Rome's city council on 19 January 2001 and has a president who is elected during the mayoral elections. On 11 March 2013 its borders were modified and it was expanded with the incorporation of part of the abolished Municipio XVII.{{cite news|title=Roma, sì all'accorpamento dei municipi: il Consiglio li riduce da 19 a 15|url=http://www.ilmessaggero.it/roma/campidoglio/roma_municipi_accorpamento_consiglio_s_riduzione/notizie/257651.shtml#|accessdate=13 March 2013|newspaper=Il Messaggero|date=11 March 2013}} Since then all the rioni of Rome, which are the city's historic districts, form part of Municipio I together with the localities Delle Vittorie and Eroi.

Municipal government
File:Palazzo dell'anagrafe 01 08 2021 01.jpg
The president of the municipio is directly elected by citizens. The Council of the municipio is elected every five years, with a system under which voters express a direct choice for the President or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. This gives a result whereby the winning candidate may be able to claim majority support.
Last election occurred on 3 and 17 October 2021:

Geography
The area of the municipality occupies the central districts of the town, including the whole historic district enclosed by the Aurelian Walls and the Janiculum walls and crossed by the Tiber, which makes part of UNESCO's List of World Heritage Sites. The quarters built over the river in the late 19th century and the beginning of 20th century between Vatican Hill and Monte Mario (Prati, Trionfale, Della Vittoria) are also within its borders.
The ancient core of the municipality is the historic seven hills (Palatine, Aventine, Capitolium, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline and Caelian), as well as the Janiculum, the Pincian Hill and the artificial hillocks of Monte Testaccio and Monte Giordano. Along the Tiber rises the Tiber Island.
