Archaeological Monumental Site - Caelian Archaeological Park: completion of the Forma Urbis Museum and Vitruvian Garden, adaptation of the Salvi House and redevelopment of access to the Claudianum
Implementing party
Project description
In the context of an overall and comprehensive redevelopment, also from an environmental point of view, of the Caelian archaeological park, four new interventions financed by Jubilee funds are planned:
1) an exhibition space dedicated to the Caelian will be created in the Forma Urbis Museum building, the starting point of the routes of the district;
2) the Vitruvian Garden will be completed, which will become both an open-air museum and the hub of a cultural route with new services for the public;
3) the Casina del Salvi will be returned to the public. The complete restoration of the building will be carried out, along with ensuring full accessibility (including the design of a lift on the right side of the building), and it will be equipped with additional sanitary facilities and spaces for storing archaeological materials. The building is generally in good condition, given its recent renovation and public opening with the Study Room on the first floor and the Café on the terrace level. However, it is necessary to carry out a check of the electrical systems and a systematic review of the fixtures, doors, and windows in the basement level. Furthermore, any issues related to dampness in the basement rooms will be assessed, followed by the necessary remediation;
4) access to the Claudianum will be upgraded, making a spectacular route accessible to large numbers of tourists.
The four areas of intervention aim at an overall recovery of the full potential of this central area of the capital.
