The architect Gennaro Farina welcomed me with an open smile and a vigorous handshake. Sitting in his office, in a picturesque area on Via Margutta paths, arches, stairways and roof gardens, we begin our chat. She is the architect of the historic center by definition and therefore an expert in this area known as the Trident Capitol, sees the initiative as a project of territorial identity, which, among other promotional activities, there is a portal dedicated to its this area of Rome? I thank you for this definition, actually a little 'me is deserved: I was institutionally responsible, the City of Rome, to lead the' Office for the historic city ", (task completed in 2008) as well as having always loved especially this area of our city. Trident Capitol I worked in the field of urban renewal and restoration for many years, this has given me in some way this identity that I do not mind at all. Let me be clear, I consider it my prerogative, because the historical center of Rome has been studied by many, and many have worked and done some great things but, without wishing to detract from the other, the fact of "assermi cut" the My space is one thing that pleases me and I hope to continue to do. Somehow, this justifies why adhered immediately and enthusiastically to this project of the Trident: because I believe that the historic center of Rome is a unique entity in the world, and I must not say I, but the Trident, in the historic center, is an entity in itself, an entity that is somehow important enough to represent him. I think that is no coincidence that the logo chosen for the Trident is shown in the video projected on the territory as if it were an array of historic city. In ancient times, however, the Trident had a different place The Trident, the original primitive, was to Ponte S. Angelo, because the first Trident materialized there in front of Via dei Banchi Vecchi, crossed by the gutting of Corso Vittorio century that was smaller than this. Buoyancy in this archetype of a city, also incorporated throughout the nineteenth century town planning in France and England, even in the practice of urbanism also outside Europe, it was recognized this principle as part of the tripartite division officer for the city. I say then that the great historian I am referring to Trident, the Piazza del Popolo, and we can say that the two leaders side by side in Piazza Navona and Piazza Augusto Imperatore other, with last, somehow, Largo Goldoni . His attitude in favor of the Trident project is justified by what other reasons? Being considered an architect certainly very "grounded" on the historical center is considered one of the Trident Roman symbols of this most important area to which the portal references, makes you understand why I considered immediately "Project Trident" a good project because remember and talk of a part of Rome and Rome recalls an area important. In this era where the internet reigns over the media, it is important that his message does that send even the 'territorial identity, historical and social context of a city, as in this case. All these factors together create a good mix that give the portal and the project as a whole, a credibility that we find in the name. The Romans used to say in the appointment rerum, and when a name conjures up meanings ranging from the matrix to the urban history of the city, from history to the political to the social life of the city itself, this is true. The Trident, she tells me, is also a strong economic reality Absolutely. A study that was published two years ago for the provincial administration of Rome, shows that in the Trident decisions are made regarding the 75\% of GDP in Lazio. Not more then just the urban matrix or array of history, but also the engine for economic development and strategy for our region, not only for our city, which incidentally is also the state capital. We are talking about "motor generator" of Rome, as well as for many other cultural and historical city in the world. Still maintains the centrality of the capital, many powers of the state and, with regard to our region, is an entity far more important as the aggregate economic and political entities that decide the fate of the whole territory addition to Rome. Which in Trident are summarized many things, leads logically to think that many things can find space and life within this brand, this symbol.
