“Among the first acts for the sports policies of the future Mayor who will govern Rome over the next five years, together with the redevelopment of the Flaminio Stadium, must be to carry out a public tender open to amateur sports associations and clubs in the Roman territory, for the recovery of Campo Testaccio “, so declared Roberto Cipolletti, Candidate to the city council of Rome during a flash mob organized in front of Campo Testaccio, present many Roma fans and inhabitants of the neighborhood. Also present was Danila Marcaccini candidate for Municipality I” Rome Historic Center. “In the last five years, even if the problem starts from further away – explains Cipolletti – two Project finances have been received to which they have not given official and definitive answers. The Sport Department of Roma Capitale has sent a letter to President of the Amateur League explaining the impossibility of activating a concession for a camp or 11-a-side football. What is certain is that Campo Testaccio also remains a monument to abandonment when it could be made available to the neighborhood and represent a historical-cultural center linked to Rome. The Campo Testaccio problem must be solved and with it remedy many municipal sports facilities whose concession has expired and which risk ending up in the same way. “” The associations’ expectations have been disregarded “, explained Emmanuel Mariani, Roma Club Testaccio . “From 2015 they thought that at least one football field could return to live in one of the most popular and popular districts of the historic center of the capital.
