No McDonald's at the Baths of Caracalla: ministry cancels permit

There will be no McDonald’s at the Baths of Caracalla: the project, which had been made official at the Municipality I of Roma Capitale, has seen its landscape authorization cancelled by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

The news comes in a note from Minister Alberto Bonisoli, who on his Facebook page lets it be known, “I had already expressed my opposition to a fast food restaurant in the archaeological area of the Baths of Caracalla, I inform you that Mibac has taken steps to cancel the authorization.” And on social media there were already comments from those who frowned upon the arrival of the American multinational in an area of such high archaeological importance.

Closely behind came also the confirmation from the Ministry. It says in a statement that “the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities promptly intervened to cancel, in self-defense, the authorization procedure for the construction of a fast food restaurant within the archaeological area of the Baths of Caracalla.”
