Rome, resurfacing work begins on St. John Lateran square

In Rome , work began the day before yesterday on the redevelopment of the square in front of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, one of the capital’s main monuments. This intervention will radically transform the appearance and functionality of an area that has fundamental historical and cultural significance for the city. With a total budget of 15 million euros, this initiative aims to completely redevelop an area of about 10,000 square meters, which includes not only the square itself, but also the surrounding green spaces. The first stages of the work have begun with the construction of the area, a process that involves a series of preliminary operations necessary to prepare the ground for the subsequent phases of intervention.

A major component of this project is the complete resurfacing of the plaza, with an emphasis on maintaining public greenery and promoting environmental sustainability. It is planned to install flower beds equipped with a modern automatic watering system, which will ensure proper maintenance of the plants and help preserve the beauty and vitality of the green spaces.

In addition, flush fountains will be built, which will not only add a valuable aesthetic element to the plaza, but also help counter the effects of so-called "heat islands," creating a cooler and more comfortable environment for citizens and visitors.

A particularly significant aspect of this project is its careful planning to minimize the impact on city traffic. All works, including the initial construction phase, have been organized so as not to interfere with vehicular circulation in the surrounding areas, thus ensuring the continuity of urban life during the execution of the works.

“As of today, the San Giovanni in Laterano construction site begins to take shape,” comments Public Works Councillor Ornella Segnalini. “In fact, the Csimu Department that is coordinating the works has begun the first phase that concerns the construction site works. At the end of this first step, the second phase of works will begin and will be completed for the Holy Year. Another major Jubilee construction site has begun to redesign an urban space and maximize its function as a place of faith and meeting.”
