The projects wants to enhance and upgrade Villa Doria Pamphilj, the biggest park in Rome measuring 184 hectares. 

Extraordinary maintenance interventions will be about:

• Scope 1: park internal circulation

 The main intervention involves floor resurfacing with a new layer in stabilised pozzolana with hydrated lime. An important issue to consider is the management of rainwater and the reduction of surface erosion of street gutters and kerbs. Different interventions are planned depending on the case. In canale del Giglio, the projects aims to renovate the paving in opus signinum. The project also aims to renovate the fountain (already planned, but it is not the subject of this work). 

These interventions will complete the redevelopment of this area that will be useful for citizens. The project includes the construction of drainage works at critical points to improve rainwater management and reduce erosion.

• Scope 2: the historical pinewood

The park has recently been attacked by the pine shoot beetle (Tomicus destruens) and the Scale insects (Toumeyella parvicornis). This poses a serious threat to both visitor safety and the landscape.  The redevelopment project of the historical pinewood aims to cut down all pines trees that are most affected by pests. In order to ensure a partial substitution of already existing trees, it has been decided to start cutting down trees that already had crowns that were significantly dried out. New trees will be planted to complement ones that have been cut down and to integrate the previous ones.

• Scope 3: the rows of holm oaks 

The intervention will take place along the Avenue of the Monument to fallen French soldiers and the Casino Algardi Avenue. Currently, these avenues are discontinuous and have various critical issues. The aim of the redevelopment project is to restore the continuity of the holm oak rows and their landscape value. This will be achieved by replacing plants that are in poor phytosanitary condition and planting new trees in the available spaces.

• Scope 4: the holm oak park located in the western part of the cricket pitch

The redevelopment project of the holm oak park aims to plant new holm oaks trees in lower density areas, in order to have a more uniform coverage while also increasing the uneven-aged character of the topsoil. 

• Scope 5: urban furniture installation 

The project aims to enhance the use and accessibility of the eastern part of Villa Pamphilj by installing urban furniture. The furniture mentioned involves: benches, picnic tables, bicycle racks, information boards and signposts, as well as the creation of a play area with various types of play equipment. 

• Scope 6: Fontana del Giglio hedge

The project aims to restore the hedge that surrounded the Fontana del Giglio and the pool underneath. To achieve the aim, the infesting vegetation will be removed, a safety wooden fence will be installed, and new Phillyrea angustifolia plants will be planted.

In addition to the above-mentioned interventions, the Capitoline Superintendence (“Caput Mundi” project) is planning restoration activities on several historical buildings and artefacts in the park. These include: Villa Vecchia; Nineteenth-century Monumental Greenhouses; Fontana del Giglio; Legnara; Villino Corsini; Arch of the Four Winds; Monument to the French fallen soldiers.
