The interventions will be divided into 9 projects with the main objective of offering services and support to people in situations of poverty, promoting social inclusion, access to basic resources and the possibility of acquiring skills through training placements.

To improve the services offered, the project, named RESET, envisages a strong involvement of voluntary associations. A link will be established with ASLs (local health authorities) and employment services to send users for training placements.

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.

The primary objective of the project was to renovate, upgrade and improve the safety of the Turbigo underpass, located between Via Giolitti and Via Marsala in the Termini Station area.

The work was conducted jointly by RFI and the Csimu Department, and focused on a 210-meter road section divided into two carriageways. The decision to renovate the underpass stemmed from the need to restore dignity to a vital road connection that had been neglected for years, affecting the safety of pedestrians, motorists and the rail infrastructure itself.

In the course of the project, special attention was given to restoring the infill between the pillars, while maintaining respect for the original layout, as suggested by the Special Superintendence of Rome. In addition, cleaning and sandblasting operations were carried out to remove graffiti and smog residue in order to increase light reflection on the travertine lining the underpass, indirectly increasing illumination by 25 percent.

Special attention was paid to the conservation of marble surfaces, with the use of materials and conservation techniques designed to preserve and protect the walls. Both the road surface and signage were also renewed, improving the appearance and safety of the entire underpass area.

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 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.

In the area of the Foro Italico, Roma Capitale is moving forward with work on a system that will ensure proper drainage of rainwater. The intervention aims to prevent flooding in the areas of Ponte Milvio, Corso Francia and Tor di Quinto. The works, which began in December 2022, will be completed by the end of 2024 and will include the re-functionalisation of the old structure and integration with other collectors in the area.

The integrated plan developed for Santa Maria della Pietà aims to create a Health and Well-being Park, which represents an articulated system of spaces and activities to enhance personal development. The project aims to promote social-work skills, healthy lifestyles and psychophysical well-being, embracing aspects such as nutrition education, entrepreneurship, legality, sport and exercise. The intervention will include actions that meet the need for space for personal care and provide an environment conducive to social welfare, training, entrepreneurial and workshop initiatives. These activities will complement those already present in the complex, supporting the recovery and revitalisation of the park and the existing pavilions. The design will develop and integrate different functions, responding to citizens' needs, with a focus on physical and psychological well-being, social care, sociality and inclusion. The services offered will support emerging businesses and the most vulnerable. The experimental approach and shared governance could be a model for other initiatives that promote collaboration between institutional, private, scientific and civic entities.

The Boncompagni project represents the first intervention of multi-purpose urban regeneration in the heart of the Central Business District of Rome. The activity will include four main elements: 

• a modern office building of approximately 17,000 square metres, situated along Via Boncompagni and Via Romagna, characterised by a contemporary glass façade, a double-height entrance lobby, terraces, and exclusive services and commercial premises;
• the redevelopment of an existing building of approximately 4,200 square metres, intended for office spaces, with particular attention to the conservation and valorisation of the historical façade along Via Sicilia;
• a high-standard residential building of approximately 7,500 square metres, located on the corner between Via Boncompagni and Via Puglie;
• a multifunctional space inside the Church of Saint Lawrence, located on the corner between Via Sicilia and Via Puglie.

The most iconic building, called the Glass Building, will feature a curved glass façade designed by Mad, which will guarantee abundant natural light and transparency to the premises. The building will be able to accommodate up to 1,600 people in modern and efficient offices, in compliance with the best international sustainability standards.

The second building, known as the Brick Building, is characterised by a strong historical identity given by the brick façade on Via Sicilia. Despite having smaller dimensions than the Glass Building, its design has achieved the same level of certifications. 

The residential building will host 38 apartments of different types, characterised by a modern and functional design.

The project is related to several energy efficiency interventions of the De Gasperi Comprehensive Institute, J. Pintor complex. Activities will include: 

• Restoration of ruined plasters;
• Replacement of the shading fixtures;
• Revamping;
• Adaptation of the electrical system.
