The coastal landscape of Rome appears to be rather neglected, despite its wealth of surviving natural habitats and historical heritage. This project aims to understand the reasons for this disregard and to portray how the coast of such an iconic city faces the challenges of sustainability. Research methodologies will be mixed, integrating a scientific approach with a more creative and sensitive one. Walking explorations, exchanges with other Academy fellows, and interviews with stakeholders will provide the material for an exhibition within the Academy’s premises, accompanied by a monograph.
