where he will move – Il Tempo

It’s been in the air for a while but it’s now official. Rai changes headquarters and temporarily leaves its historic building in Viale Mazzini, in the center of Rome. After more than half a century, the approximately 1300 state information employees move to the Via Cristoforo Colombo area, where they will find the former Wind building in Via Alessandro Severo to welcome them. The move is due to the renovation works of the historic headquarters in Viale Mazzini which will begin in the second half of 2025. Modernization foreseen by the industrial plan which highlights the redevelopment of the headquarters. Yet many workers are dissatisfied with this choice, considering that all the other public TV offices are located in the northern area of ​​the capital: Saxa Rubra, Teulada, Foro Italico and Asiago.

But let’s go back to the renovation, now considered unavoidable. The building, where the iconic horse by the Sicilian sculptor Francesco Messina is placed at the entrance, will undergo a complete renovation to make it sustainable and green. Without forgetting the presence of asbestos within those walls. The decision was made official during yesterday’s board of directors meeting and made public with a company note. The latter «examined the plan of interventions aimed at optimizing and developing the company’s real estate assets with specific reference to the Rome area. In this context – we read in the document – the preliminary contract was approved for the rental of the “lung” property located in via Alessandro Severo to which, in relation to the renovation works of the building in Viale Mazzini, it will be temporarily transferred, in second half of 2025, the management headquarters”.

The move from the historic building is not the only news at Rai. The program “Affari tuoi” has been confirmed for the three-year period 2024-2027, and will be hosted by Strefano De Martino. An extension of the contract with the format that closes the doors to a possible attempt by Discovery to grab the program to please Amadeus on Nove. White smoke also on the offer for the acquisition of the non-exclusive rights to the highlights of the Serie A football championship for the three-year period 2024-2027. In the meantime, the excellent results of the European Championships are being celebrated. High ratings and advertisers stimulated by the event in Germany are making a killing. The three matches of the round of 16 that will be broadcast live by Rai1, in addition to Italy-Switzerland, are those that are played at 9 pm: Spain-Georgia, Portugal-Slovenia and Austria-Turkey.
