Parte la rigenerazione delle ex caserme di Roma, dove sorgerà anche il Museo della Scienza. Obiettivi e tempi del cantiere
The Italian government, through Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) and COIMA Sgr, has launched the regeneration of the former Guido Reni military barracks in Rome's Flaminio district. The 5-hectare site, abandoned since 2019 and located opposite the MAXXI museum, will be transformed into a mixed-use urban district including housing, retail, a hotel, green spaces, and a new Museum of Science. Demolitions are set to begin in October 2026, with the project expected to be completed by 2029. The museum will be designed by Rome-based studio ADAT, which won an international competition in 2023.
This project matters because it represents a major urban renewal initiative in one of Rome's key cultural districts, linking the MAXXI museum, the Auditorium, and Nervi's Palazzetto dello Sport. The creation of a new Museum of Science adds a significant cultural institution to the city, while the integration of public spaces and pedestrian-friendly design aims to reconnect the area with the surrounding neighborhood. The involvement of international investors like Eagle Hills also signals the growing role of private capital in Italian cultural infrastructure.
