Rome has announced a 1.6 million euro urban redevelopment project for the Tridente area, specifically focusing on the Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Mignanelli, and Via di Propaganda sectors. The initiative aims to reorganize public spaces, enhance pedestrian accessibility, and protect historical monuments.

Key components of the plan include expanding the pedestrian zone in Piazza di Spagna between the Column of the Immaculate Conception and the Palazzo di Propaganda Fide, and the complete pedestrianization of Piazza Mignanelli. In Via di Propaganda, the roadway will be narrowed to accommodate wider sidewalks. 

Infrastructure improvements will involve the maintenance of cobblestone (Sampietrini) paving, the installation of travertine-edged curbs and historical bollards to prevent unauthorized parking, and the use of basalt slabs and granite borders for sidewalks. The project also intends to implement ‘Sospas’ technology to monitor commercial loading zones. Works are scheduled to begin and reach completion by the first half of 2027.
