During a conference organized by AEPI, dedicated to Made in Italy and its excellence, the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, emphasized the importance of the Jubilee. He highlighted how the celebration represents a significant economic resource and an opportunity to revitalize the city through substantial public and private investments. The main areas of intervention will include public transport enhancement, the metro as a leading priority, and the redevelopment of the historic center.
Gualtieri stated: “The Jubilee is a huge economic opportunity and a chance to safeguard our businesses. It is also a significant resource for carrying out structural interventions in Rome thanks to unprecedented resources, including funds from the “PNRR” allocated for public transport services improvement and enhancement, with particular attention to the metro. They will help to restore Rome’s infrastructure, making the anticipated large tourist flow for the 2025 Jubilee more sustainable and manageable”.
“This event presents a unique opportunity to address problems that have persisted for 15-20 years due to a lack of investment. It is also a challenge because the goal is to make a qualitative leap in all aspects. The public investments aim to fix the city infrastructures, from roads to 5G connectivity. Through private investments, we will renovate buildings, redevelop the historic center, and improve the quality of life for people. We aim to make Rome more beautiful and appealing, considering that in recent decades, it went through a stagnation process that has made it less attractive than other major European cities. Today, the current average tourist stay is two nights and three days, half that of cities like London or Paris.”
