Archaeological Monumental Site (CARME) - Via dei Fori Imperiali area: cross-connection of Via Bonella

Implementing party

Roma Capitale

Project description

The aim of the intervention is to create a pedestrian connection between the central sector of Via dei Fori Imperiali and the widening on the slopes of the Capitoline Hill between the Mamertine Prison, the access to the Roman Forum and the façade of the Church of Saints Luke and Martina. The widening can now be reached from the Clivo Argentario and the stairway down from the Campidoglio/Via di San Pietro in Carcere. 

Via Bonella was laid out at the end of the 16th century in the process of urbanisation of the green spaces around the Forum of Augustus and the Forum of Caesar that led to the primitive layout of the Alessandrino district. The street connected the Arch of the Pantani with the slopes of the Capitoline Hill, passing in its last stretch to the west between the Curia building and the Church of Saints Luke and Martina. 

In the course of archaeological investigations, which led to the discovery of the southern sector of the Forum of Caesar at the end of the last century, Via Bonella was removed in its central section. Today, two sections remain: the one to the west coincides with the last section of the ancient road, the one to the east is a busy overlook to the archaeological area from Via dei Fori Imperiali. 

The project involves the construction of a light, suspended pedestrian link between the two sections of the road. A "walkway" that will be designed with minimal impact on the surrounding monumental context. In addition to the construction of the walkway, the project includes the redevelopment of the green area behind the apse of the Church of Saints Luke and Martina.
