Roma: the new stadium will start construction next year
Lucia Bernabè outlines the Pietralata project: the executive plan comes first, then a stand that will be the largest in Europe, according to the club.
Roma's head of institutional relations, Lucia Bernabè, said at the Social Football Summit that work on the new stadium will begin next year. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the club must first deliver the executive project, and a couple of administrative steps remain before the start.
Bernabè stresses that cooperation with institutions and dialogue with residents are essential, since the stadium will rise in an already populated area. In the case of Pietralata, she explains, the site was chosen for being central, although that was not widely recognised, and the message to neighbours is that the project will improve the area.
On design, she argues that the stadium should be the home of the team and its supporters, not just a venue for matchdays. She says the stand will be the biggest in Europe and has been conceived to embrace the fans.
