Piscinola also belongs to the group of the suppressed municipalities, in fact for self-government in 1866, following the annexation to the City of Naples. With Marianella was linked administratively, from annexation to the City of Naples, as the ward.

Until 1865 it was an autonomous municipality merged in Naples.

The northern branch of Line 1 of Naples Metro connects, from 1995, the area to the center of Naples, a facility that has somewhat alleviated the otherwise lack of municipal infrastructure.
