Rome Beyond the Walls 1883–1960: Itineraries between agricultural heritage and industrial innovation

Starting from June 7th until October 25th, 2025, Art Sharing Roma ETS launches a program aimed at rediscovering the recent history of Rome through storytelling and exploration of the city’s industrial and natural heritage. The focus is on Rome’s industrialized outskirts—areas that have lost part of their identity and are often seen either as commuter zones or trendy nightlife districts. The original agricultural vocation and early industrial history of these places have largely been erased by overdevelopment. Nevertheless, many areas still retain significant urban, architectural, and natural value—hidden gems waiting to be rediscovered. The program, running from late spring through early autumn, features 12 events in total: 6 conference meetings with scholars, experts, and special guests held at the association’s headquarters (MUN XII), with LIS sign language interpreters available. 6 guided and dramatized walks through various districts. Each tour features licensed guides—specialized in slow, sustainable tourism—and two actors from the company Argillateatri – The Way to the Indies, who will perform excerpts inspired by literature related to the featured neighborhoods. All events are free of charge and open to anyone interested in Rome and its history. The conference venue is accessible at street level with no architectural barriers, while the walks vary in difficulty. Full details for each event can be found at👉 https://artsharingroma.it/roma-1883-1960/including event-by-event information sheets and public transport directions.
