Overview

  • The Capitoline Assembly approved the project’s technical and economic feasibility study, confirming its public interest with a 39–5 vote.
  • Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said construction could begin in early 2027, with the PAO and subsequent technical phases expected to move quickly.
  • Roma’s owners are set to fund most of the roughly €1 billion cost, which the mayor emphasized would spare public finances.
