Court orders Pietralata occupant to pay Rome record damages over new stadium site

Source: Roma News

Rome's civil court has ordered one of the illegal occupants of the Pietralata site to pay the city council nearly €314,000 in damages, marking a decisive legal victory in the dispute over the land designated for AS Roma's new stadium. The judgment awards Roma Capitale €219,500 in damages plus over €21,000 in legal costs. The court found that the defendant and other residents who had occupied the public land held no legitimate claim to it and ruled that Rome deserves compensation for the unlawful occupation.

The three family units occupying the area had attempted a usucapion claim—a legal bid to secure ownership through long-term possession—to block construction of the new stadium. That challenge failed, leading to a forced eviction in August 2024 and subsequent protests from anti-stadium committees. The court's decision leaves no room for interpretation, certifying the occupants had zero legal entitlement to the land.

The damages calculation was based on market rental values of €11,000 annually, multiplied across 26 and a half years of unlawful occupation from 1997 to 2024. The court stated: "acclarato che l'unico titolo di godimento vantato in giudizio dalla parte attrice in effetti non sussistesse, va da sé che debba riconoscersi, in favore di Roma Capitale, un credito risarcitorio per l'occupazione dei cespiti per via dell'occupazione perpetrata senza titolo." The occupants had attempted to withdraw their case before judgment but Rome refused, determined to enforce its legal rights.
