Saturday's fire was the fourth major blaze to hit the Italian capital in less than a month, prompting Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri to assure residents the authorities are seeking to get a handle on the situation.
"The fires that have ravaged the city these past few days are an impressive sequence of episodes that is putting Rome and the Romans to the test," he wrote in a Facebook post.
"We are constantly monitoring the situation and we do not yet know if these are criminal or just negligence," he added. "This is not the time for political speculation and division. It is the time of unity, of proximity to the Romans and to the affected Romans, and of determination not to be intimidated and to move forward on the path of modernization and relaunch of Rome."
