The Capitoline Council has approved the outline of an agreement with the Department of the Fire Department and the Ministry of Culture to initiate the interventions deemed irreparable and urgent on the Torre dei Conti, damaged by the partial collapse that occurred last November 3. The act provides for an allocation of nearly one million euros, intended to support the entire operational path necessary to secure the monument. The operations will have to follow a precise and coordinated procedure, regulated through dedicated institutional instruments. In this perspective, the Prefecture of Rome has established a Table that brings together all the articulations involved, with the task of ensuring the sharing of information, the consistency of interventions and the supervision of operational steps. Coordination is entrusted to the Rome Fire Department Command, which is in charge of processing and submitting to the Judicial Authority the planned operations to obtain the necessary authorizations to start field activities.
“In dutiful and heartfelt remembrance of the tragic death of Octav Stroici,” says Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, “I want to thank the Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli, the Capitoline Superintendency, the State Superintendency, the Fire Brigade Command and the Prefecture of Rome for the extraordinary collaboration that has allowed us to define a rapid and shared path.It will begin, as early as next Monday, together with all the institutions involved, the work of the Fire Brigade with the equipment and materials necessary to carry out the first interventions to secure the Torre dei Conti, which partially collapsed last November 3.”
The agreement precisely defines roles and responsibilities among the agencies involved. The Rome Fire Department Command will be responsible for directing the operations and making available specialized personnel to carry out the technical interventions considered essential to stabilize the tower. The document assigns to Roma Capitale the responsibility of guaranteeing means, materials and economic coverage, as well as the indispensable measures to regulate traffic in the areas surrounding the construction site, so as to allow the activities to be carried out without further compromising public safety. The Ministry of Culture will participate in the Permanent Operating Table, playing a supervisory role over the work and verifying that the operations are compatible with the prescriptions for the protection of the property. Its responsibilities include the issuance of approvals required by conservation regulations, with particular attention to aspects related to the protection of historical heritage and the proper execution of interventions. The path initiated aims to create a unified framework of intervention for a complex operation involving different administrative levels and specific technical expertise.
