Boundaries and Buffer Zones Buffer zone status There is no buffer zone, but there is a need for one Are the boundaries of the World Heritage property adequate to maintain the property's Outstanding Universal Value? The boundaries of the World Heritage property are adequate to maintain the property's Outstanding Universal Value Are the buffer zone(s) of the World Heritage property adequate to maintain the property's Outstanding Universal Value? The property had no buffer zone at the time of its inscription on the World Heritage List Are the boundaries of the World Heritage property known? The boundaries of the World Heritage property are known by the management authority but are not known by local residents / communities / landowners Are the buffer zones of the World Heritage property known? The property had no buffer zone at the time of its inscription on the World Heritage List s, conclusions and / or recommendations related to boundaries and buffer zones of the World Heritage property A minor modification of the boundaries of the property is currently under preparation There is a buffer zone de facto but the proposal has not yet been sent to the WHC hectares), now called the Historic City. The botteghe storiche (historical shops) are protected by the Resolutions no. 139 of 1997and 187 of 2003 of the City of Rome. The General Urban Traffic Plan, drafted by the City of Rome and approved in June 1999, is a short-term policy instrument that outlines the strategies for public and private mobility, committing the Administration to planning the measures on the basis of an organic plan. Prevention measures against the risk of flooding by the Tiber River have been adopted through Law no. 183 of 1989, Provision for functional reorganization to preserve the territory. Finally, the Executive Decision no. 786 of 25/9/2002 established the Urban Décor Organizational Unit. The main provision concerning the protection of the single contexts and monuments is Legislative Decree no. 42 of 22 January 2004, Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code ; the national law that envisages the identification of the assets of historic artistic, archaeological, architectural, and landscape interest, which are placed under special forms of protection. As regards the protective measures for the site, the Italian Superintendence for archaeological heritage of Rome has conducted a large campaign to impose new direct protection obligations on two levels: on individual complexes exposed by chance during public or private works or during planned archaeological research; on the areas that are still free that have not yet been excavated but are certainly sites of archaeological interest. Concerning ownership and use, numerous changes have occurred over the years in the historic centre. The Italian State has acquired important monument complexes from private sources to incorporate into the existing museum system; banks, offices, large multinationals and commercial businesses have established their offices in buildings in the historic centre, replacing the old owners and, in some cases, bringing about the removal of historic workshops and artisan businesses, which also has a social impact. With reference to the Vatican legislation, the sites are under protection of the Law for the Preservation of the Cultural Heritage, No. CCCLV (25/07/2001) and the relative Statutory Role No. CCCLVI (26/07/2001). There was no change to ownership in recent years. Periodic Reporting Cycle 1 ( ) Section 2 Source: Periodic Reporting Cycle 1 ( ) Submitted on Monday, November 28, 2005 Question 6.02 The sites are under protection of the Law for the Preservation of the Cultural Heritage, No. CCCLV (25/07/2001) and the relative Statutory Role No. CCCLVI (26/07/2001), whose texts were attached to the hard copy of Section I Protective Measures Protective designation (legal, regulatory, contractual, planning, institutional and / or traditional) For the Italian authorities, the protection of such an extensive and complex historic centre is based on specific regulations and provisions, ensuring that they are complied with. The entire protection regulatory apparatus may be subdivided into two macro-categories: the protection instruments for the entire historic centre; and the protection instruments for single areas and monuments. As regards the former, the main regulations concerning the entire historic centre are mainly five. The Town planning, in particular the New Town Planning Scheme, is currently in the approval phase. Particular attention and recognition of historic quality have been extended from the historic centre alone (1,500 hectares) to a vaster area (6,500 For the Italian State, several laws and regulations have been issued since the first cycle of the PR: Law february 20th, 2006, no. 77 "Special provisions for the preservation and use of the UNESCO properties" Territorial and Landscape Regional Plan, adopted in 2007 Rome Town Planning, in force since march 14th, Is the legal framework (i.e. legislation and / or regulation) adequate for maintaining the Outstanding Universal Value including conditions of Integrity and / or Authenticity of the property?

The property had no buffer zone at the time of inscription on the World Heritage List Is the legal framework (i.e. legislation and / or regulation) adequate in the area surrounding the World Heritage property and buffer zone for maintaining the Outstanding Universal Value including conditions of Integrity and / or Authenticity of the property?

There is acceptable capacity / resources to enforce legislation and / or regulation in the World Heritage property but some deficiencies remain s, conclusions and / or recommendations related to protective measures Even if there is no official buffer zone, the legal and regulatory protection is extended to an area that is much wider than that of the site ( the so called "Historic City") 4.3. Management System / Management Plan Management System Efforts have been made by the Italian authorities to identify the organisations that should make up the steering group for the drafting of the management plan of the UNESCO site. This operation is particularly difficult because of the inherent complexity of the site. Plans have also been made to prepare a management plan, whose implementation was foreseen to commence in December No management plan has been planned by the Vatican authorities so far. The levels of public authority who are primarily involved with the management of the site for the Italian side are national; regional; local;, public and private institutions. As concerns the Vatican side the level is national: the Statutory Role for the Officials in charge of the extra- territorial areas requires the civil servants in said areas to be responsible of the preservation of the cultural heritage.
