Rome City Councillor Marcello De
Vito, member of the 5-Star Movement (M5S) and likely to be
elected as Speaker of the City Council under the new M5S Mayor
Virginia Raggi, on Monday said the administration may take the
issue of the construction of AS Roma's new stadium back to the
assembly.
"We will evaluate whether to bring it to the council floor,
we'll make the necessary checks," he said, stressing that the
M5S is not against a new stadium, but "ask it be with respect to
the laws". .
"Of course, a debate where the stadium is 14% of the
project isn't a debate on the stadium," De Vito said.
In 2014, the club presented their plans to build a swanky
new 52,000-capacity stadium in the southern Tor di Valle area of
the Italian capital.The project for the new stadium, which will
also be home to shops, bars and conference facilities, includes
facilities for music and entertainment, including a 500-person
stage in a Roma-themed restaurant, a 5,000-seat outdoor
amphitheater and a 13,000-seat amphitheater.
