Roma Cura Roma - My City, My Care
A major day of civic engagement dedicated to urban care
About Roma Cura Roma
A city that cares for itself
Roma Cura Roma - My City, My Care is the major active citizenship event where the Capital mobilizes every spring to improve the care, decorum, and enhancement of public spaces. It is not a traditional entertainment festival, but a collective celebration of the common good: for an entire day, streets, squares, parks, gardens, and historic villas are filled with volunteers who, gloves and brooms in hand, restore beauty and livability to their neighborhoods.
Widespread initiatives in all city districts
The strength of the event lies in its grassroots nature: initiatives are widespread across all of Rome's districts, from the historic center to the suburbs. Citizens, neighborhood committees, associations, schools, and parishes propose and carry out their own projects via the official portal, specifying the location, time, and planned activities. Each edition features hundreds of events taking place simultaneously, bringing the city to life from morning to evening.
Beyond cleaning: culture, greenery, and community
Alongside cleaning and urban decor efforts, the program has progressively expanded to include activities that go beyond maintenance: gardening and green space care, urban vegetable gardens, environmental and cultural walks, moments to rediscover the history and identity of neighborhoods, workshops for children, animal welfare education, and inclusive initiatives. It is a way to combine civic duty with the rediscovery of the territory, involving entire communities of all ages.
- Cleaning of streets, squares, and common areas
- Gardening, green space care, and urban vegetable gardens
- Cultural and environmental walks through neighborhoods

Organizers
The day is promoted by Roma Capitale with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Waste Cycle, together with AMA and a vast network of volunteer and third-sector organizations: Retake Roma, Legambiente Lazio, ACLI, MASCI, AGESCI, FAI - Rome Delegation, CSV Lazio, Plastic Free, PiùBlu ETS, and many other city associations, with technical support from Zetema and the Local Police.
Roma Capitale and the Lazio region
A symbol of a new relationship between institutions and citizens, Roma Cura Roma has become one of the most attended civic events in the Municipality of Rome and the entire Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, in the Lazio region. With tens of thousands of participants in each edition, the event demonstrates how caring for shared spaces can transform into a great community celebration, under the banner of the idea that "Rome belongs to everyone."
