Caput Mundi: Conservative restoration and enhancement of the Aurelian Walls section Piazza S.Giovanni - Viale Castrense
Implementing party
Project description
After the completion of the Metro C construction site, the work on section H has not yet been finalised. An enhancement project including the garden area is therefore necessary. In the Porta Asinaria area, the interiors require conservation work that will include elements to close the windows and loopholes and an external and internal lighting system. Furthermore, the section between Porta Asinaria and the Amphitheatrum Castrense suffers from numerous structural weaknesses and various degradation phenomena.
Specifically, the following works and projects are planned:
- preliminary cleaning operations;
- conservative restoration of surfaces in sections 1 and 2;
- elimination of infesting vegetation and biological attacks;
- restoration of external brick walls;
- restoration of tuff walls in mixed masonry by cleaning;
- restoration or replacement of flooring;
- waterproofing of walkways and all horizontal surfaces;
- verification of the static condition of the tower roofs, attics, levels and floors;
- consolidation of previous restorations and the overhaul of tie rods and chains in section 2;
- design and implementation of the Asinaria window and door closures with suitable elements;
- implementation of structural works to eliminate the current interruptions of the path inside the walls and on the patrol path, at the Amphitheatrum Castrense, section G22-G23 and the height difference between tower G26 and Porta San Giovanni;
- construction of an electrical and lighting system;
- adaptation to legislation on architectural barriers, safety and fire prevention.
