The services conference relating to the technical and economic feasibility project of the new Roma stadium in the Pietralata area ended with a positive opinion. The final session took place this morning in the small parliament of the Superior Council of Public Works of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, as part of the process aimed at issuing the single authorization provision. The end of the works is scheduled for 2031. "The positive opinion of the services conference - explains the president of the Roma IV Municipality, Massimiliano Umberti - represents a fundamental step in the path towards the construction of the new Roma stadium in Pietralata. As Municipality IV we look at this project with great attention, because we are talking about an intervention destined to have a profound impact on the future of a strategic part of our territory".
"Stadium extraordinary opportunity for development"
"For us - continued Umberti - the stadium is not just a sports facility, but it can represent an extraordinary opportunity for regeneration, development and growth for Pietralata and the entire quadrant. Our priority is that a transformation of this magnitude can communicate with the territory and produce concrete benefits for those who live in these neighborhoods every day". Pietralata, Umberti further underlines, "has before it the opportunity to become one of the symbolic places of the transformation of Rome, capable of combining sport, services, public spaces, mobility and new development opportunities. A challenge that we must face with ambition: we want the change generated by the stadium to go beyond the confines of the facility and become an opportunity to improve urban quality and make our territory increasingly attractive, modern and lively".
"Opportunity must be accompanied by valorisation of Pietralata"
"The Rome IV Municipality will continue to carefully follow every subsequent step within its competence, keeping the public interest, the citizens' needs and the valorisation of the territory at the centre. The positive outcome of the services conference today marks a new and important step forward in the administrative process. We want this great opportunity to be accompanied by the growth and valorisation of Pietralata and the entire IV Municipality", concluded Umberti.
