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. 

On the occasion of the Jubilee, funding of 31 million euros has been earmarked for the maintenance of arterial roads in the heart of Rome, in compliance with the "Sampietrini Plan.” The intervention involves the upgrading of a total of about 10 kilometres of roads, divided into four processing modes, which include:

• Maintenance of sampietrini;
• Conversion from sampietrini to asphalt;
• Conversion from asphalt to sampietrini;
• Asphalt maintenance.

Maintenance operations will begin in the Borgo Pio area, then extend to the neighborhoods of Prati, Trastevere, Via Giulia, Portico d'Ottavia, Aventino, as well as the churchyards of churches frequented by pilgrims in the Baroque bend. 

The project aims to preserve and improve the important road heritage in the heart of Rome, thus contributing to the protection and efficiency of communication routes in the eternal city.

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.

A new Urban Transformation Program called "Cecchignola Ovest" has been launched in Municipality IX. The intervention will include various activities, among which the construction of private buildings, roads, car parks and public sewage systems. 

Furthermore, there will be included the construction of a park of approximately 22 hectares and new public services, including two kindergartens for 60 children, two nursery schools with three sections each and an elementary school with 10 classrooms.

Private construction, amounting to approximately 425,000 cubic metres, is currently underway. Some buildings, known as "Città Verde” (Green City), are following the certification program according to the GBC Quartieri energy-environmental protocol, respecting the criteria of the GBC Home protocol. This approach aims to encourage socialization and cultural exchange, helping to give the new neighbourhood its own urban identity.

The interventions are related to the redevelopment of different urban spaces little used by citizens, since they are characterised by a significant state of degradation.

The activities will be aimed at regeneration, creating environments usable by citizens and capable of facilitating socialisation, outdoor physical activity and connection with nature.

The interventions will include the following squares:

• Val Trompia Park (included in the Roma Capitale project "100 parchi per Roma");
• Piazza Canberra;
• Piazza Corazzini;
• Piazza Vinci Garden;
• Amato Park; 
• Sassi Park; 
• Monte Urano Park.

The Municipality of Rome X has successfully participated in the regional call "Lazio Street Art", presenting a project that involves the creation of three murals focused on the theme of the environment, to be made on as many school buildings.

The main goal of this initiative is to improve the image of the neighbourhood involved through urban artistic interventions and to raise awareness among citizens on issues related to the environment.

This intervention complies with the Municipal Council Directive no. 20/2022.

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 intervention involves the extraordinary maintenance of the left quay of the Tiber in the section from Ponte Fabricio to Ponte Testaccio. This stretch of embankment, approximately 2 kilometers long, will undergo a special cleaning process that will also remove the river silt deposited after the river floods. Over the years, due to lack of maintenance, bushes and reeds have grown spontaneously on the layer of silt, to the extent that the original pavement of flagstones is no longer visible today. Furthermore, all scattered waste within the vegetation will be removed through separate collection, and informal settlements in the construction area will be cleared.

The construction of the new Study Room in the Trionfale district, located within the Via Andrea Doria market, in a redeveloped building of 350 square metres, is part of the project of the Network of Study Rooms in Rome. The installation of the premises, at the indications of the Department of Culture of Roma Capitale and at the request of the Municipality I – Central Rome, was carried out by the Institution for a System of Cultural Centre Libraries of Roma Capitale, which manages the space.

The new location, not far from the historic Giordano Bruno Library, was created to provide the Trionfale, Prati and Della Vittoria districts with a new space for meeting, studying and sharing.

The work, carried out between 2023 and 2024, allowed the redevelopment of the property, with the creation of 50 study stations and a common area equipped with seats and tables.
