"Despite many centuries of studying and debate on how to enhance such patrimony, Rome still retains unveiled treasures - forgotten architectures and monuments longing for a chance of being brought back to life and to the community.

In partnership with La Sapienza University and Progetto Forti, Rome municipality is glad to undisclose a debate over one of its precious hidden treasures: Forte Portuense.

This former military architecture belongs to a series of nineteenth-century fortifications. Forte Portuense is becoming a topic of discussion among several public and private players, who wish to establish here the first element belonging to a network of facilities for entertainment, culture and wellness."
