Giornata Mondiale dell’Acqua 2025

Every 22 March marks World Water Day, established by the United Nations in 1992 to remind everyone of the importance of water for our survival on the planet.

It is a fundamental occasion to celebrate the precious natural element of which about 70% of the Earth and the human body are made, but also to reflect on the water crisis afflicting many areas of the world: water scarcity, pollution of water sources, unequal access to drinking water threaten the health, safety and well-being of us all.

Celebrating this day therefore means raising awareness of pressing issues, promoting responsible consumption practices and supporting policies and technologies that can ensure a water future for all.

Through simultaneous events, educational initiatives and awareness-raising campaigns around the world, World Water Day calls upon us to manage water resources in a shared and sustainable way and build a solid foundation for international cooperation.

On the occasion of World Water Day, the Sovrintendenza Capitolina proposes a series of events in museums and sites of the territory to discover and deepen the knowledge of Rome's cultural heritage related to the theme of water, also with translation into Italian Sign Language (Meetings must be booked in advance at 060608). The meetings with translation into Italian Sign Language (LIS) are organised thanks to the collaboration with the Dipartimento Politiche Sociali e Salute (Direzione Servizi alla Persona) and the Cooperativa sociale onlus Segni di Integrazione - Lazio. Deaf people can also book through the free multimedia service CGS Comunicazione Globale per Sordi di Roma Capitale - by logging onto https://cgs.veasyt.com/ from Monday to Friday from 8.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.

Tours, itineraries and games will take you on a discovery of Rome's more or less hidden waters: the recently restored monumental fountains in Piazza Navona, Piazza Farnese and Piazza della Rotonda, the numerous hydrometric tombstones commemorating the height reached by the Tiber floods, a Ptolemaic water hourglass at the Barracco Museum, the Nymphaeum of the Annibaldi from the late Republican period and, for the youngest, a game to discover the Pleistocene at the Casal de' Pazzi Museum, which stands on an ancient riverbed.

The initiative is promoted by Roma Capitale, Assessorato alla Cultura - Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali. Museum services by Zètema Progetto Cultura.
