Steps forward for Roma's new stadium at Pietralata. The Giunta Capitolina has approved the resolution to acknowledge the verification of the Technical and Economic Feasibility Project (Pfte), i.e. the document delivered by the Giallorossi club on 23 December.

Next steps

The measure, which complies with the conditions, prescriptions and recommendations set out in the May 2023 declaration of public interest, will now be examined by the competent commissions and, in the coming weeks, submitted to the final vote of the Capitoline Assembly for confirmation of the project's public interest. After final approval, the project will be submitted to the single regional authorisation procedure, including the environmental impact assessment and the decisive Services Conference.

Project details

The details included in the project are then approved. Let's start with the area: in total it will be 27 hectares, 11.6 hectares of which will be public green spaces and 3.5 hectares for squares and pedestrian paths. Moving on to the facility, the planned capacity is 60,605 seats, with a 23,000-seat turn, 'among the largest in Europe'.

The complex will host functions open to the city, such as a 1,600 square metre museum, a 1,800 square metre fan shop, 30 retail outlets, 245 square metres for the park bar, and 21,000 square metres for hospitality and congress activities (Mice). The architecture recalls the tradition of ancient Rome and integrates the Club's distinctive signs: the inscription 'Roma 1927' on the south façade and the As Roma emblem on the north façade.

Green areas

The project also includes the construction of two large green areas integrated into the urban system: the stadium park and the central park. The stadium park includes the 6.7-hectare facility, approximately 50,000 square metres of green areas and connecting spaces, as well as the podium with squares and pedestrian paths. The 6.9-hectare central park will be an everyday, multifunctional public space, with areas for recreation, outdoor sports, resting and cycling paths. There are also plans to pedestrianise the former Via Sublata, and to create new squares, accessible play areas, fitness areas and refreshment facilities.

Parking lots

On the mobility and parking front, 91,426 square metres of public and private parking spaces are planned for public use, including underground structures (which can also be used on non-event days), level and multi-storey car parks, as well as three velostations. There are 2,606 parking spaces in the stadium and detailed plan and 5,712 motorbike parking spaces. In addition, there will be 2,577 parking spaces in the interchange car parks along the B line (Santa Maria del Soccorso, Ponte Mammolo, Rebibbia), 1,901 of which will be usable on match days, and 1,660 spaces along the FL2 line (La Rustica UIR, La Rustica Città, Serenissima), 996 of which will be allocated for match days.

The cycle and pedestrian system will connect the area to the existing network and the Tiburtina station, ensuring continuity and safety of the routes. A cycle track along the north-south axis, three velostations (Monti Tiburtini, Istat compartment, via Achille Tedeschi) and 3,582 bicycle parking spaces are planned, as well as two cycle-pedestrian walkways towards the Tiburtina station, an overpass of the railway beam in the direction of via Livorno and a walkway on via dei Monti di Pietralata.

Giallorossi club invests 1 billion

The Giallorossi club is investing €1.047 billion in the project, of which €696.37 million is earmarked for the construction of the stadium and the remainder for urbanisation works and construction costs.

Gualtieri: 'Project that speaks to the future'

"Today is an important day for Rome. As Roma's new stadium is not just a sports facility: it is a project that speaks of the future, of regeneration, and of confidence in the city's ability to carry out quality works, redeveloping an entire quadrant like Pietralata. We have worked with determination for this path to get here and we will continue to do so with the same commitment. It is a choice that looks ahead and strengthens Rome's credibility and ability to carry out strategic interventions for the city,' says Mayor Roberto Gualtieri.

Councillor Veloccia: 'Ready to get the final process started as soon as possible'

"Today's is an important step for the construction of Roma's new stadium, which will not only be a modern sports facility dedicated to the fans, but a real new urban pole that will enrich the city and contribute to the redevelopment of the Pietralata quadrant. Once again, Roma Capitale has demonstrated its willingness and ability to work for the development and future of the city. Since we received the dossier, we wasted no time and acted with determination to conclude the preliminary investigation in a few weeks. In this regard, I would like to thank all the offices for their hard work that allowed us to arrive at this resolution. Now we are ready to bring the measure to the Chamber of Deputies and to ensure that, as soon as possible, we can finally start the final process with the approval at the services conference," adds the Councillor for Urban Planning Maurizio Veloccia.
