Roma
si trasforma

The 10 planned interventions aim at improving safety and hospitality in theatre and movie theatre spaces, as well as optimising the performance and functionality of the rooms through eco-efficiency and the reduction of energy consumption. 

The funded projects involve eight theatres and two movie theatres owned by Roma Capitale, including Teatro Argentina, Teatro Costanzi (Rome Opera Theatre Foundation), Teatro Quarticciolo, Teatro Torlonia, Teatro India (room A and room B), Teatro Tor Bella Monaca (room A and room B), Teatro del Lido di Ostia, Globe Theatre, Casa del Cinema and Cinema Aquila.

More specifically, the project actions will focus on:

• the restoration of materials in compliance with the regulations;
• the elimination of hazards deriving from damaged parts;
• the creation and/or revision of electrical and special systems, integrated with energy consumption efficiency control systems;
• the revision or replacement of heating/air conditioning systems, to improve the overall management of theatres and movie theatres.

These interventions will improve the audience experience, ensuring a safer, more comfortable and energy-efficient environment in theatres and movie theatres.

The “Un tetto con cura” project aims to provide long-term temporary assistance, up to 24 months, through the provision of accommodation in flats located in small groups in the area. This solution is aimed at individuals, small groups or families in situations of extreme hardship, who cannot immediately access public housing and who require continuous support. An individualised project, aimed at activating the personal resources of the individual or the family unit, will foster paths to autonomy and capacity-building.

Projects will focus on several aspects, including:

• individual paths to overcome the emergency situation;
• accompaniment and coordination with territorial services for long-term planning;
• cooperation with other institutions, such as prison facilities, justice services and the judiciary.

In view of the Jubilee 2025, Roma Capitale is organising maintenance and improvement works on both main and local roads in order to facilitate the movement of pilgrims and tourists throughout the city. This programme involves all 15 municipalities of Rome, each responsible for the resurfacing of the roads under its jurisdiction, with a special focus on connecting axes. The investment will be equally distributed among the municipalities and interventions will be allocated through a centralised tender to ensure uniformity and consistency. The maintenance will include resurfacing the bituminous conglomerate paving, cleaning the drains for rainwater disposal, restoring road markings and maintaining the areas adjacent to the roads.

Line C, Rome's third subway under the new Town General Plan, will directly connect distant areas by crossing the city from northwest to southeast, so greatly extending the existing metro network. The current route, which is 25.5 km long and includes 30 stations, begins in the municipality of Monte Compatri, follows the Termini-Pantano railway, crosses underground just before the Grande Raccordo Anulare and heads into the historic centre to the Mazzini district, keeping about 30 m above street level.

The route is divided into various sections: T2 under design, T3 under construction, T4-T5, T6 and T7 with the Granite Depot already operational. This division results from functional reasons, design needs, approvals and funding. T2 section will include a functional sub-section: the Venezia-Colosseum/Imperial Fora section, which will extend beyond the end of Section T3 for about 250 m. It includes the Venezia Station, the fire station shaft and railway communication between odd and even track. The final design of the Venezia-Imperial Fora sub-section, including the Venezia Station, was submitted to the Conference of Services in July 2021, including the positive outcome of the verification of compliance with VIA (EIA) requirements.

The financing of the total amount of € 755,000,000.00 is ensured for € 145,000,000.00 by Decree Law No. 133 of 12 September 2014, coordinated with Conversion Law No. 164 of 11 November 2014, and for € 610,000,000.00 by the resources referred to in paragraph 393 of Article 1 of Law No. 234 of 30 December 2021 (Budget Law 2022) allocated by Interministerial Decree No. 97 of 20 April 2022.

The final design of T2 Section Venezia-Imperial Fora/Colosseum sub-section was approved by Order No. 3 of 30 December 2022 prot.l79/M of the Extraordinary Commissioner. By Service Order No. 35 of 17/01/2023, the Sole Project Manager (RUP) ordered the start of the executive design activities, based on the approved final design drawings, taking into account the requirements attached to the Technical Verification Minutes, and subjected the start of the work to the approval for the three parts of the executive design.

The first part of the executive project of the Venezia-Colosseum/Imperial Fora section was delivered by the General Contractor Metro C S.c.p.A. on 13/02/2023 and 17/02/2023 and was then supplemented with the additional submissions on 18.04.2023.

This was followed by the delivery of the drawings constituting the additional two sections, into which the issuance and approval of the executive project of the sub-section in question was divided.

By Approval Act No. 13/line "C" dated 16/06/2023, the Contracting Authority approved the drafts of the 1st part of the Executive Project. By Approval Act No. 16/line "C" dated 24/07/2023 the Contracting Authority approved the executive project second part of the Venezia-Imperial Fora/Colosseum sub-section and finally by Approval Act No. 1/2024 dated 10/01/2024 the Contracting Authority approved the executive project for the third part.

By Service Order No. 39 formulated by the Project Manager on 26 September 2023, the start of activities took place and excavations on Piazza Venezia are underway, and on 1 October 2023, the Executive Work Program of the section was updated (from 17/01/2023 to 03/09/2033)

As of 30.11.2023 (SAL 2 as of 30/06/2023) there are 2 SALs issued for the T2 Venezia - Colosseum/Imperial Fora sub-section and 2 payment certificates issued for a total certified amount to the credit of the General Contractor of € 13,983,074.43 plus VAT.

The amount corresponds to approximately 2% of the total reference amount from the updated Economic Framework (€ 588,424,487.84).

A section of road measuring approximately 6.8 km in length underwent extraordinary maintenance interventions. The activities carried out included: complete road platform resurfacing in order to improve its quality and safety; restoration of the protective barriers along the route; arrangement of the verge to allow the correct flow of rainwater; reshaping of the road seat section in some sections to ensure a smooth surface; cleansing and verification of the hydraulic functionality of the rainwater disposal network; the refurbishment of the vertical and horizontal signs to improve the visibility and orientation of drivers; mowing and cleaning of the areas adjacent to the road.

The extraordinary maintenance project of the "Tondogiro" nursery school, which houses three sections for children from zero to three years old, involved a complete renovation of the building. The construction activities included the demolition and restoration of the internal walls, the replacement of both internal and external fixtures, the total renovation of the three bathrooms of the sections, the kitchen and the laundry room, the installation of new lighting fixtures and the laying of new floors and screeds.

In addition, to address the problem of rainwater infiltration, a new waterproofing of the roof was carried out, with the demolition of the existing one. The interior furnishings and recreational equipment have also been renovated, in addition to the arrangement of the outdoor space.

The districts of Magliana, Marconi and Piana del Sole will be the subject of a series of specific and widespread interventions for the redevelopment and safety of public spaces (squares, public green areas and road sections near schools). The goal is to enhance and improve the usability of these places of aggregation within the built fabric.

Squares and green areas

The quality of squares and green areas has been improved with new flooring, measures aimed at increasing accessibility, the integration of furnishing elements – including inclusive children’s games –, the planting of trees, the insertion and enhancement of lighting (from a photovoltaic source). The interventions have also made the spaces more recognisable and safe throughout the day. Here are the details of the works:

• Largo Santa Silvia: repair and extraordinary maintenance of the play equipment present;
• Piazza Piero Puricelli: new lighting, new games and redevelopment of the Madonnina basement;
• Piazza Fabrizio De Andrè: new picnic tables;
• Fausto Catani Garden in via Greve: new trees, removal of barriers, improvement of the access ramp, new pergola and new fitness space;
• Giardino Lauro Maria Caterina Bassi (via Blaserna): new flooring, basketball court with spaces dedicated to sports in the open area;
• Green area of Piana del Sole (via Fresonara): construction of a new recreational area;
• Playground in via Pian due Torri: insertion of new inclusive games and anti-trauma flooring, remaking of the basketball court and perimeter network on the bike path, insertion of new furnishings (baskets and picnic table);
• Piazza Augusto Righi: reorganization/redesign of paved spaces and flowerbeds with the insertion of spaces for motorbike parking;

Crossings near schools

The movement of adults and children at the entrance and exit of schools has been facilitated by the creation of raised pedestrian crossings that ensure absolute priority to pedestrians, eliminating any dangerous conditions with respect to vehicular traffic. Here are the points subject to intervention:

• Via Blaserna at the Mondo Enchanted infant school;
• Via Brunacci at the Aquilone blu Nursery;
• Via Giuseppe Belluzzo at Il Ciclamino Nursery;
• Via Ignazio Ribotti at the Benucci Infant School;

The project involves a series of extraordinary road maintenance interventions in the Monteverde Vecchio district.

Here are the details of the work that will be carried out:

• securing Via Giambattista Marino
• reorganization of spaces dedicated to vehicular manoeuvres
• removal of architectural barriers through the construction of pedestrian slides
• reconstruction of roads and sidewalks
• replacement of gullies covers

The project involves the redevelopment, following fires, of two Public Residential Buildings of the Municipality XIV of Rome. Both apartments on the ground floor have been declared uninhabitable. 

Here is the list of interventions carried out in the building at via Anderson 129:

• Foreclosure of access through the entrance hall, ensuring access to floors 1, 2, 3;
• Provision of a safe walkway for intervention teams access in the area;
• Restoration of the drain pipes;
• Restoration of the gas pipelines;
• Inspection and provision of a structural project for the renovation of the uninhabitable apartments on the ground floor.

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.
