The section of the Aurelian Walls between Porta San Paolo and the Tiber River is undergoing a significant conservative restoration, structural consolidation, and enhancement project.

A comprehensive campaign of structural, material, and geological investigations, combined with a detailed visual analysis, has revealed numerous issues, both structural and related to preservation. 
In addition to specific structural imbalances, conservation problems have emerged, linked to the deterioration of materials and the presence of weedy vegetation. These factors negatively affect the safety, preservation, and readability of the structure.

The works currently in progress include:

• securing the structure with temporary steel supports and polyester straps;
• consolidating the foundations through injections of expanding resins and the construction of reinforced concrete curbs;
• structural interventions on the upper portions with active metal ties to counteract the thrust of the vaults;
• cleaning and restoring stone and plastered surfaces using compatible, reversible, and low-visual-impact treatments;
• removing the existing bituminous membrane and resurfacing the walkway using cocciopesto (building material used in ancient Rome);
• removing of weedy vegetation and deep root systems.

The interventions aim to restore the stability and integrity of this monumental complex, safeguarding its historical, architectural, and cultural value for future generations.
