The opening of the Piazza Augusto Imperatore on Friday morning marked the start of a restoration project that combines ancient heritage with modern architectural design. The square is situated in one of the most prestigious areas of the Roman historic center and will accommodate shops, offices and tourism and culture-based activities.

Not to mention, the largest circular tomb, the Mausoleum of Augustus, stands in the center as a reminder of the ancient relics of Roman times. The opening ceremony of Piazza Augusto Imperatore drew a wide range of attendees from both the public and private sectors. Rome’s Mayor was present to officially inaugurate the renewed space.
