Abstract

The Central Archaeological Area represents a crucial revealing index of the complex interrelationship of successive urban forms in Rome concerning a peculiar physical context that has favored and directed its development. In resolving the evident character of isolation and separation to which the area currently responds in relation to the contemporary city, it is necessary to focus attention on the strategic resolution of those topographical discontinuities that today prevent an organic order between the ancient, modern, and contemporary levels. The study proposes some possible planning solutions that can describe in operating on the orographic matrix a greater synergy in the forms of Rome.
