Carlo Verdone Marks 75th as Rome’s ‘Mayor for a Day,’ Receives Lupa Capitolina After Periphery Tour

The day showcased a periphery-first agenda, with site visits that culminated in a free dental clinic approval plus aid for independent bookstores.

Overview

  • Verdone presided over the municipal Giunta alongside Mayor Roberto Gualtieri in the Sala delle Bandiere at Palazzo Senatorio.
  • The administration approved a free dentistry center for Tor Bella Monaca and introduced measures to support independent bookstores.
  • At Villa Gordiani, he inaugurated a children’s play area and inspected safety and redevelopment works at the Romolo Balzani primary school linked to July’s explosion.
  • In Tragliatella, he reviewed sewer network works on via Pettenasco and met residents on via Zubiena to hear local concerns.
  • He later addressed the City Assembly from the mayor’s seat, returned the tricolor sash, and accepted the Lupa Capitolina, saying the experience moved him to tears.
