Through this program, Rome will receive a total of 191.5 billion euros to accelerate recovery.

In this way, Italy obtains the 13 percent pre-financing stipulated in the €800 billion recovery and resilience fund regulation.

This is the fifth Member State to receive the corresponding advance payment from Brussels, after Portugal (2.2 billion), Belgium (770 million), Luxembourg (12.1 million) and Greece (4 billion).

Such money furthermore serves for a greener and more sustainable mobility system, an increase in renewable energy, the digitalization of companies, the deployment of 5G communication, a more efficient public administration and a competitive business environment.
