New panoramic route on the Janiculum

The project proposal is a new panoramic route, which from the Gianicolo Hill looks towards the centre of Rome.

The area is located between the Garibaldi square and Botanical Garden. On the Janiculum, there are many famous historical monuments, which define the value attributes of the city, a public area whose values limit the design action but are at the same time a challenge, a source of inspiration and an opportunity for a new design. The Janiculum has abundant vegetation. The Janiculum walk walks on a ridge, with geography that offers some of the fascinating views of Rome. The area has now several disadvantages: steep slopes and rough roads; many steps and lots of physical activity to enjoy its qualities. Too many cars, few buses, and narrow sidewalks also pose a risk to personal safety. Furthermore, in some places, the uncultivated vegetation limits the view of the panorama towards Rome.

The project aims to highlight the unique characters of the place.

The idea is to build an elevated panoramic route between the Peak Road and the Botanical Garden, which connects essential nodes, to which are added observation platforms, of the Belvedere. This will further activate the use of the area, allowing you to move freely and easily between monuments and points of landscape value. The gentle ups and downs, the low-speed route designed for walking and bicycles, will significantly reduce the physical load of visitors and provide a new and comfortable experience.
