Investing in History: Lazio Region and Rome Capital Launch Support Programs

The Lazio Region and Roma Capitale are joining forces to introduce new regional measures aimed at bolstering ancient businesses and promoting the “as’ na vorta” project in Rome. These initiatives seek to preserve the unique character and economic vitality of Rome’s historical activities.

Conference Details: Palazzo Braschi to Host Declaration

A press conference is scheduled for Thursday, April 17th at 12:00 PM at the Rome Museum at Palazzo Braschi (Sala Tenorani – Piazza di San Pantaleo 10). Key figures from the region’s economic and cultural sectors will be present to discuss the details of these vital programs.

Key Speakers and Stakeholders

The conference will feature prominent leaders, including:

• Roberta Angelilli, Vice President and Councilor for Economic Progress, Commerce, Crafts, Industry, and Internationalization of the Lazio Region.

• Lorenzo Tagliavanti, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Rome.

The Importance of Preserving Historical Activities

These initiatives come at a crucial time. According to a recent study by ISTAT, nearly 30% of historical businesses in Italy have closed in the last decade due to rising costs and increased competition from larger corporations. The “as’ na vorta” project, along with the regional measures, aims to counteract this trend by providing financial support, resources, and promotional opportunities for these vital cultural and economic assets.

“Preserving our historical activities is not just about maintaining tradition; it’s about safeguarding our identity and ensuring a vibrant future for our communities.”

By investing in historical activities, lazio Region and Roma Capitale are taking a notable step towards ensuring a sustainable future for Rome’s unique cultural heritage. The conference on april 17th promises to offer further insights into the specific strategies and goals of these vital initiatives.
