Corviale Rome housing project receives €58 million EU climate renewal
The segment covers the ongoing regeneration of Rome's Corviale complex, known as Il Serpentone or the Big Snake, a 1970s Brutalist housing project. It highlights a €58 million EU-backed plan using Italy's post-pandemic recovery funds for energy-efficient building upgrades, a bioclimatic library, redesigned green spaces including planting thousands of trees and shrubs, and social inclusion efforts. Sourcing draws from project architect Allesia Pagini, resident Massimo Valatti, and printmaker Aleandro Fonachci, plus Rome climate data. The report notes most work is complete with remaining open-air and green elements due by end of August.
