The Rome City Assembly has approved a further update to the Quality Charter of Rome’s General Regulatory Plan, introducing changes to the inventory of buildings and urban complexes of historical, architectural and heritage significance.
The revision expands the inventory of historic villas, with 677 new additions and 13 newly identified urban areas and recognises the significance of 72 works and complexes of modern and contemporary architecture. At the same time, 466 buildings classified as special building types and 30 elements of industrial archaeology are to be removed from the inventory.
The update therefore affects both historic buildings and more recent architecture and urban spaces, including infrastructure, public housing complexes and neighborhood facilities. The Municipality’s guidelines for the quality of building interventions have also been updated, with specific provisions for historic villas.
The amendment is particularly significant for the planning of real estate projects. The inclusion of a building or urban area in the Quality Charter may affect the assessment procedures and conditions applicable to renovation or redevelopment projects. Therefore, determining the applicable regulatory framework will also require consideration of the updated version of the Charter and any procedures involving the Rome Heritage Superintendence (Sovrintendenza Capitolina).
For real estate operators, it will therefore be important to verify whether the properties involved in their projects have been added to, retained in or removed from the Charter, and to assess the implications of these changes for project feasibility and the relevant authorisation procedures.
