Overview
- The Conferenza dei Servizi issued the autorizzazione unica on Monday, September 28, 2026, with commissioner Massimo Sessa and Mayor Roberto Gualtieri signing the decision that makes the approval immediately effective.
- AS Roma must now deliver the progetto esecutivo and public tenders will be launched before construction can start, with officials targeting a ceremonial first stone in March 2027 and completion by 2031 to remain eligible for Euro 2032.
- The Soprintendenza gave a positive opinion but imposed prescriptions to protect archaeological finds and green areas, and the project must meet those mitigation measures during executive design and construction.
- The operation is reported to be privately financed by the Friedkin family at about €1.3 billion overall, using a 90‑year diritto di superficie arrangement that frames long‑term ownership and public‑private responsibilities.
- Planners present the scheme as a broad urban‑regeneration project that adds parks, cycle and pedestrian routes, and extensive parking while also requiring further work on local roads and hospital access to address residents’ mobility concerns.
