Protests against Santa Palomba incinerator project

Overview

Protests have emerged in the Rome metropolitan area against the proposed Santa Palomba waste incineration plant. Initially, over one thousand demonstrators marched between Albano Laziale and Ariccia, organized by local committees, environmental associations, and citizens. During this period, technical discussions emphasized the need for a systemic redesign of the waste management chain to focus on material recovery rather than individual plants.

Opposition has since intensified through organized demonstrations under the slogan “Il Futuro non si Brucia” (The Future Does Not Burn). Led by groups such as Rete Tutela Roma Sud, protesters have accused Rome Mayor Gualtieri and the Democratic Party of prioritizing economic interests over public health. Critics specifically highlighted the involvement of Vianini Lavori, a company within the Caltagirone Group, in the project’s economic framework, and have called upon the national government to intervene.
