New app and elevator for Rome's Tor Marancia street art district

The Big City Life project, which in 2015 brought 22 murals to the facades of Ater-owned buildings in Rome's Tor Marancia district, has become a major attraction. The diverse talents of artists such as Mr Klevra, Diamond, Matteo Basilè, Seth Globepainter, and Philippe Baudelocque transformed this suburban corner into an open-air museum. Recently, the Fondazione Terzo Pilastro – Internazionale launched two new interventions. The first is a social initiative: a new elevator installed by Marrocco Elevators S.r.l., allowing disabled resident Andrea Matteucci to move freely within his building. The second is a mobile app called Tor Marancia 2.0, developed by Megasound, providing detailed information on all Big City Life works in Italian and English, accessible via list or QR code scan. However, the article notes that a similar app, Street Art Roma, already maps all street art in the city, including Tor Marancia, and suggests that multiplying outputs may create confusion rather than opportunities. The foundation could have achieved more by supporting the existing platform and allocating resources elsewhere.
