Since the 11th century, San Vittorino was owned by the Abbey of Saint Paul Outside the Walls . In 1430 Martin V approved the takeover by Roman families.

San Vittorino was founded on September 13, 1961 by decision of the Commissario Straordinario. At that time, the Ager Romanus was divided into 59 zones, which were assigned a Roman number and a Z was introduced. Six of them were completely outsourced to the newly founded municipality of Fiumicino and three others partially.
