Links to Roma's planned new
stadium will be assured "by suitable infrastructure," Rome Mayor
Virginia Raggi said Tuesday, adding that "those who attack us
forget that we cut three skyscrapers and thousands of cubic
metres" from the project. A radically revised and scaled-down
version of the original project was approved last week by Rome
city council after meeting Roma officials and constructor Luca
Parnasi, but the new project has been criticised for allegedly
failing to provide adequate links to the facility. Raggi
announced Friday that she had reached a deal with the
club to authorise the significantly smaller version of the
project, featuring around half the initial one million cubic
metres envisioned on the origin plan and the scrapping of the
three skyscrapers. The new project, still located in Rome's
southern Tor di Valle district, will feature more green areas
and will wipe out a threat of flooding in a neighbouring area.
