Rome is to continue its redevelopment of the Celio Park in a semi-forgotten corner of the Caelian hill, hidden in plain sight between the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus. The project was presented on Tuesday by the city's mayor Roberto Gualtieri at the Casina del Salvi, a newly-opened coffee house and study hall in the archaeological park on the Caelian Hill.

The scheme is a key part of the "CArMe" redevelopment programme of Rome's central archaeological area, an ambitious project financed with €282 million in funds from the Jubilee, the PNRR and the city's budget.
