Project description
Borghetto San Carlo, the splendid agricultural complex located on the Cassia Road, with its five farmhouses from the early 1900s, have been completely regenerated and returned to the territory. The Borghetto (“small village”) boasts a total area of about 23.85 hectares while the farmhouses, built between 1915 and 1945 and consisting of five buildings, have a total area of about 1,700 square metres. These buildings had been waiting for a redevelopment for quite a long time. The agricultural land and some of the buildings were assigned in 2015, through the "Roma città da coltivare" public call of Roma Capitale, to Cooperativa Agricola Co.r.ag.gio, a cooperative of young farmers supported by thousands of Roman citizens. However, the overall renovation of the farmhouses, which was supposed to be completed by March 2016, has suffered many delays, leaving the buildings unused for years. Now the area can begin to live again, thanks to the great joint work carried out by the Department of Urban Planning, the Municipality of Rome XV and the proposing body.
The renovation, worth approximately 2.5 million euros, included the following interventions: seismic adaptation, roof renovation, energy saving regulatory adaptation, redistribution of internal spaces with installation of toilets. Thanks to this renovation, the farmhouses will finally be able to be reopened to the public and used by the Capitoline Administration: two buildings will be given in concession to Cooperativa Agricola Co.r.ag.gio and destined for activities complementary to agriculture; another building will be under the Municipality management, while the "D" silos will remain as testimony to the previous agricultural vocation of the complex.
