ROMACONTINUA is a visionary project for the future of Rome that does not impose models, but rather enhances and unlocks the potential already present within the territory, revealed through four vocations — Beauty, Care, Knowledge, and Palimpsest — integrated into a system and made equally accessible through the city of Movement.
These vocations emerge from a profound reading of the territory, understood not only as an analytical tool, but as a true design device.
Rome is beauty, a shared and widespread civic asset that connects aesthetics and social identity.
Rome is knowledge; a place of history, culture, and power where research can become a strategic infrastructure capable of guiding change.
Rome is care; the landscape is not a backdrop, but a design matrix.
Rome is a palimpsest in which the great voids it possesses define an urban form “in waiting,” where the constant reappropriation of places is an ancient and deeply rooted practice.
Rome is movement — difficult, complex — along an extensive and articulated network of infrastructures to be reinterpreted.
ROMACONTINUA therefore means reading the contemporary city as a diffuse system, connected by lymphatic networks that ensure vitality and exchange, and imagining its future development through capillary and discreet projects that work on margins, residual spaces, and what already exists. It is linked to the livability of public spaces, the harmony between the built and natural environment, the sense of belonging, and the capacity to inspire and engage its inhabitants.
