Modern Prima Porta
In 1965, heavy rains made two near Tiber tributaries, which had no protective banks, to flood the area, generating infrastructural and economic damage. Water level was two meters high at some points.
Prima Porta houses, along the Via Flaminia, Rome's biggest cemetery, Cimitero Flaminio, also known as Cimitero di Prima Porta.
The population of the XX Municipio, the administrative unit that includes Prima Porta, was 146,000 as of the census of June 7, 2001.
