Roma
si trasforma

The NRRP aims to promote the creation of cycle networks in 40 Italian cities, through interventions of maintenance and/or new construction, for tourist/recreational (tourist cycle paths) and urban (urban cycle paths) purposes. 

Thus, Roma Capitale has set itself the goal of implementing a multi-year programme to promote the use of bicycles as structural means of transport for systematic travel.

This programme will improve accessibility and safety for cyclists in the city, by encouraging greater use of bicycles for daily travel. 

In September 2022, after more than 10 years of construction, the pre-school, which now houses 150 children, was opened. Construction of the building required 4 separate procurements and was carried out with a strong commitment to sustainability and energy conservation. Each classroom is equipped with a solar greenhouse and a catchment chimney.

In view of the Jubilee 2025, Roma Capitale is organising various maintenance and improvement works on pavements to optimise the pedestrian traffic throughout the city, facilitating the movement of pilgrims and tourists. Each of Rome's 15 municipalities will be responsible for resurfacing local pavements, with a focus on connections between neighbourhoods. A budget of 15 million euro is planned for the work, which will be allocated through a framework agreement to simplify procedures. The interventions will include the redevelopment of existing pavements with furniture elements such as pedestrian barriers or flower boxes, the removal of architectural barriers with the addition of ramps, and the maintenance of sensitive routes.

The redevelopment project of the entire playground, including the skate park, is a chance to offer a completely renovated and free-entry sports area, accessible to athletes and enthusiasts from every part of the world. This space comprises a basketball court, a multi-purpose three-a-side football pitch and an area equipped with digital fitness machines for outdoor sports activities.

The playground recently hosted the WST - Rome Street 2023 skateboarding event, which took place between 18 and 25 June. The tournament involved the best skaters in the world, representing a key stage in the qualifiers for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.

The main aim of the activities is to provide a cutting-edge structure to practice various sports disciplines, encouraging participation of athletes from all over the world. The redevelopment aims to improve the quality and usability of the playground, turning it into a site of excellence for international events and daily training of local and global sportspeople.

The project is related to several energy efficiency interventions of the Savinio Comprehensive Institute, Cecco Angiolieri complex. Activities will include: 

• Creation of the thermal cladding;
• Windows replacement;
• Waterproofing interventions;
• Reconstruction of gutters.

The objective of the project is to strengthen the educational offer of the primary school located in Piazza Damiano Sauli, 1, an integral part of the Damiano Sauli Comprehensive Institute. A multi-purpose sports field will be created in the outdoor area of the building, which will include spaces for basketball and volleyball, replacing the current basketball court. The intervention is aimed at enriching the school's training offer, simultaneously creating a new point of aggregation for students and, potentially, for the local community. Given the high population density and urbanisation of the area, the sports field could represent an important resource for the entire neighbourhood.

The project includes a preliminary check of the state of health of the trees of Via Fulda and Via di Villa Bonelli, to reduce any risk of a crash. The works will also check and eliminate the damage caused by the root systems to road sites and sidewalks.

The project involves the construction of a double-lane cycle path, with an approximate length of 4 kilometres, which will connect the Fiumicino cycle path system to the airport terminals and the technical area of the airport. This infrastructure will extend partially along the Roman Coastal State Nature Reserve and in the area of the Port of Claudio, offering two possible ways of use:

• Functional connection: the cycle path will act as a practical connection between the main working facilities of the airport, the train station and the town of Fiumicino, facilitating travel for the airport population and local residents.
• Cultural and historical connection network: in addition to its functional role, the infrastructure constitutes a connection network for a territory characterised by considerable cultural, historical and archaeological interest. This will allow transit passengers, tourists and Roman citizens to explore the historical and cultural riches of the area along the bike path route.

Through this infrastructure, it will be possible to visit several attractions of historical-archaeological interest along the way, including the remains of the North Pier of Claudius, the Captaincy and Archaeological Area of Monte Giulio, the Museum of Roman Ships, the Monument to the Fallen of Kindu and the Parish of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The main objective of this intervention is therefore to promote sustainable mobility and the enhancement of the cultural and historical heritage of the area through the use of bicycles as a means of transport.

The works, which began in November 2023, involve the construction of new street gullies and new rainwater drainage systems within the territory of the Municipality X of Rome – Ostia - covering a total of about 450 meters.

The aim of the work is to improve the area’s ability to respond to extreme weather events caused by climate change.

The project consisted of the restoration of the Serra and Torre Moresca complex in the park of Villa Torlonia on Via Nomentana. The intervention has restored the Serra Moresca to its original beauty, transforming it into a precious museum space for exhibitions or events.

Designed around 1839 by the Venetian architect Giuseppe Jappelli and built between 1835 and 1845, the Serra is an amazing garden pavilion with a structure in peperino, iron, cast iron and polychrome windows. The Moorish-style architecture designed by Jappelli was inspired by the Alhambra in Granada and the Serra was designed to house exotic and rare plants, but also spectacular events, as evidenced by the presence of a semi-hidden compartment, inside the large hall, intended for the orchestra.

The Torre, on the other hand, was reserved for more intimate meetings, for a few participants, invited by the Prince to the sumptuous dining room on the top floor, characterised by large windows with cast-iron and coloured glass frames and walls decorated with polychrome plaster. 

Based on a careful study of the graphic and photographic documentation and the descriptions of the places by Giuseppe Checchetelli, the present layout of the Serra Moresca highlights its original architectural features. 

Inside, the fountain, now active again, is surrounded by palm trees, agaves, pineapples and aloes, plants and tree species compatible with the original vocation of the environment. The artificial cave, thought to be the place of the Nymph, features illuminated remains, waterfalls and ponds where water lilies and lotus flowers now return.
