Tufello is the urban zone "4I" the Municipio Roma III of the Metropolitan city of Rome. It extends itself onto the Q. XVI Monte Sacro neighbourhood.
The name actually derives from "tufillo", the Italian name for a sedimentary rock which can be extracted from tuff, which is the material that the hills where the "borgata" is located is made of.
