Upgrading of green areas in historic villas - Villa Doria Pamphilj

The projects wants to enhance and upgrade Villa Doria Pamphilj, the biggest park in Rome measuring 184 hectares. 

Extraordinary maintenance interventions will be about:

  • Scope 1: park internal circulation

 The main intervention involves floor resurfacing with a new layer in stabilised pozzolana with hydrated lime. An important issue to consider is the management of rainwater and the reduction of surface erosion of street gutters and kerbs. Different interventions are planned depending on the case. In canale del Giglio, the projects aims to renovate the paving in opus signinum. The project also aims to renovate the fountain (already planned, but it is not the subject of this work). 

These interventions will complete the redevelopment of this area that will be useful for citizens. The project includes the construction of drainage works at critical points to improve rainwater management and reduce erosion.

  • Scope 2: the historical pinewood

The park has recently been attacked by the pine shoot beetle (Tomicus destruens) and the Scale insects (Toumeyella parvicornis). This poses a serious threat to both visitor safety and the landscape.  The redevelopment project of the historical pinewood aims to cut down all pines trees that are most affected by pests. In order to ensure a partial substitution of already existing trees, it has been decided to start cutting down trees that already had crowns that were significantly dried out. New trees will be planted to complement ones that have been cut down and to integrate the previous ones.

  • Scope 3: the rows of holm oaks 

The intervention will take place along the Avenue of the Monument to fallen French soldiers and the Casino Algardi Avenue. Currently, these avenues are discontinuous and have various critical issues. The aim of the redevelopment project is to restore the continuity of the holm oak rows and their landscape value. This will be achieved by replacing plants that are in poor phytosanitary condition and planting new trees in the available spaces.

  • Scope 4: the holm oak park located in the western part of the cricket pitch

The redevelopment project of the holm oak park aims to plant new holm oaks trees in lower density areas, in order to have a more uniform coverage while also increasing the uneven-aged character of the topsoil. 

  • Scope 5: urban furniture installation 

The project aims to enhance the use and accessibility of the eastern part of Villa Pamphilj by installing urban furniture. The furniture mentioned involves: benches, picnic tables, bicycle racks, information boards and signposts, as well as the creation of a play area with various types of play equipment. 

  • Scope 6: Fontana del Giglio hedge

The project aims to restore the hedge that surrounded the Fontana del Giglio and the pool underneath. To achieve the aim, the infesting vegetation will be removed, a safety wooden fence will be installed, and new Phillyrea angustifolia plants will be planted.

In addition to the above-mentioned interventions, the Capitoline Superintendence (“Caput Mundi” project) is planning restoration activities on several historical buildings and artefacts in the park. These include: Villa Vecchia; Nineteenth-century Monumental Greenhouses; Fontana del Giglio; Legnara; Villino Corsini; Arch of the Four Winds; Monument to the French fallen soldiers.

Sewage treatment plant in Tragliatella

The construction of the sewage treatment plant is crucial to the proper functioning of the sewage system in Tragliatella. This project is part of AceaATO2 S.p.a.'s investment plan, which also includes the rehabilitation and upgrading of the sewerage system in the area. Currently, the sewage treatment plant is nearing completion. To accelerate the progress of the redevelopment program in the area, the Capitol has allocated about 1.16 million in 2023. These funds are aimed at completing the existing sewer system in the southeastern area, connecting it to the Tragliatella sewage treatment plant.

Plan for upgrading of tunnels and underpasses

Over the past year, an extensive plan to improve underpasses, tunnels and subterranean walkways in the urban area has been initiated. The plan included a series of activities to improve its quality, including cleaning the walls, renovating hydraulic drainage systems, restoring street signs, upgrading lighting, and cleaning and decorating operations in cooperation with Ama, the municipal environmental company.

Special attention was paid to cleaning the walls and restoring their colour, ensuring greater safety for motorists and pedestrians. 

Interventions were carried out in several areas, including:

  • Galleria Ignazio Guidi (known as the Muro Torto), which also saw pavement improvements;
  • Nuova Circonvallazione Interna (NCI orbital road), with pavement upgrading managed by Anas;
  • Sassia underpass, also with pavement improvements;
  • Galleria Giovanni XIII, on which a tutor-type speed control system has been installed;
  • Galleria Fleming.

In total, about 8 kilometres of infrastructure, including underpasses and tunnels, were upgraded. This project contributes significantly to the improvement of local road infrastructure, increasing the safety and efficiency of road traffic.

Conservative restoration of Ponte Risorgimento

The intervention is related to the conservative restoration and consolidation of Ponte Risorgimento and its access walkways, an architectural work subject to historical constraint.  Given the importance of the structure, diagnostic analysis will be conducted on the coating and analysis to determine the colour of the final finish.

Once the preliminary operations are completed, the work will be divided into four main phases: a weeding phase, a cleaning phase, a consolidation phase, and a protection phase.

In addition, work will be planned on the roadway, including demolition and replacement of joints and repaving.

The work will include improving the sidewalks by installing basalt slabs, with renovation of the subgrade and waterproofing layer. Sidewalk verges will also be fixed, and pedestrian joints will be demolished and replaced.

Special attention will be paid to upgrades to the utilities within the bridge. In line with the bridge restoration work, all companies involved will modernise their networks, with significant interventions by Acea ATO2 SpA, which will carry out activities on both aqueducts inside the bridge, and by Areti Illuminazione Artistica SpA, which will upgrade and replace the lighting system with LED technology.

Special maintenance and replacement of road hydrants

At the end of July 2023, a contract was launched for the renewal of Roma Capitale's road hydrant fleet, consisting of about 2,000 elements. The intervention consists of replacing the operating parts (end caps) with a new type of head, equipped with sensors, GSM card, and SIM card to monitor pressures, opening/closing events, and maintenance status.

Caput Mundi: Interventions to be carried out on the section of the Janiculum walls adjacent to Villa Sciarra

The project focuses on the restoration of the wall section to preserve its historical and architectural significance. 

This wall section, which collapsed in the 1980s, will require targeted interventions, based on historical research and advanced restoration techniques. 

The operations will include the reinforcement of the damaged sections to ensure stability and safety in the affected area.
