Corviale's Urban Regeneration in Rome Includes Art and Community Projects
The Corviale public housing project in Rome, constructed between 1972 and 1982 under the direction of architect Mario Fiorentino, is set to be revitalized through the PUI (Piano Urbano Integrato) 24 'Polo della solidarietà Corviale' initiative, running from November 2023 to June 2026. Since 2018, the Laboratorio di Città Corviale, located at Via Mazzacurati 89, has facilitated these changes. A new three-year partnership with Rome Capital was established in 2023 to bolster the lab's involvement in the PUI, aiming to redevelop areas such as the Incipit business incubator and the Nicoletta Campanella Civic Center. The Mostra delle Memorie exhibition, showcasing various artists, will be included in Open House Roma on April 6, 2024, with a publication debut on May 6, 2024.
