Redevelopment of Villa Ada - Extraordinary maintenance of the Park's avenues

Investments in projects of urban regeneration, aimed at reducing situations of marginalization and social degradation (Mission 5 – Component 2, Investment 4)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for investments in urban regeneration, to reduce marginalization and social degradation as well as to improve the social and environmental context of urban centres. The measure aims at supporting the reuse and re-functionalization of public areas and existing public building structures for purposes of public interest, and at improving the urban landscape through renovation of public buildings, with particular attention to the development of social, cultural, educational and didactic services, including sporting activities.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 2 billion.

As part of this investment, the project involved the renovation of two side avenues in the Valle della Sughereta, Viale Sholl and Viale Ferrari, along with a series of vegetation clearing and natural engineering works. These interventions were carried out to prevent erosive phenomena due to intense rainfall and to protect the avenues from the accumulation of plants. The avenues have been redone, restoring the original shape dating back to the 1960s.
