The Flaminius chapter seems to have reached a turning point. The abandoned Roman stadium has been receiving various expressions of interest for several years now, including that of the Lazio with the patron and president Claudio Lotito who wants to make it the new home system for the Biancocelesti.
The Sport councilor of Roma Capitale also spoke on the issue today Alessandro Onorato that a Radio Roma Sound he has declared: “If there is no private investment by the end of the year, the recovery of the Stadium Flaminius the Municipality can do it with the Government. The plant is in dossier of the European Championships 2032. We already have 7 million for the design».
I am three interested parties at the Flaminio, including Lotito, even if it seems to be less real at the moment: «The most concrete is that of Rome Swimming. On June 30th we will understand whether it can have a positive process from a technical point of view. In parallel we always have this somewhat mythological planning on Lotito’s partin the sense that net of a rendering seen by the undersigned if Lazio wants to present a project it must come to the Capitol and present it to the mayor and all the councilors involved, and if they really wanted to make an investment in that area, a services conference because the law provides for the possibility that parallel service conferences can also be held. Then there’s always there Cassa Depositi proposal and Loans, which has never yet reached a concrete plan».
On the times: «We will not make the mistake of previous administrations, we want to lay the first stone and begin the work for the valorization of Flaminius. The duty of a municipal administration is to understand if it is the only project in the field. But if that project, for example, could not be realised, if Lazio ultimately doesn’t materialize the project, if CDP doesn’t materialize it in the end, we could enhance the stadium ourselves Flaminius by putting in some money ourselves, perhaps asking the Government for funds».
«But first – continued Onorato – we have to go to understand in the coming months whether these private investments are concrete or not. I would say: let’s see how the Roma Swimming services conference ends, let’s see in parallel whether Lazio is serious or not, and let’s see if Cdp takes concrete steps. If, paradoxically, we had one abundance of projects we will do three service conferences if all three are favorable then we will have a participatory process with the citizens».
«We have won a lawsuit with Sport and Health on how the Flaminio was managed in the past, we won 7 million euros, so if we wanted we already had the money for the design, it would be a public good, I don’t think the Government can say no to us. But let’s have this discussion in a few months, before the end of the year, if there have been no solutions. Current laws and current regulations do not allow municipal administrations to be quick in making decisions. I saw what the Government did in Caivano. If only I had the procedures that they used I would resolve at least another 5-6 Caivano-style situations in six months. So it’s good if they carried out the intervention in Caivano, but I would like to understand why all cities cannot have trials where years are not wasted in endless procedures», concluded the Sport councilor of Roma Capitale.
