The Marina of Rome (Italian: Porto Turistico di Roma) is a tourist port that rises along the banks of Ostia, in the Municipality of Rome (Italy).
The port, designed in the 1990s, it is part of a redevelopment project of the area of the Ostia Seaplane Base; in fact, the Centro Habitat Mediterraneo, an oasis of 20ha managed by LIPU (Italian Bird Protection League) extends not far from one of the entrances of the port.
The construction was entrusted to ATI (Attività Turistiche e Imprenditoriali), which inaugurated the Marina in 32 months, with an investment of 120 billion lire, in June 2001.
In 2015 Mauro Balini, the administrator of the port, was arrested on charges of bankruptcy (regarding the stimulated bankruptcy of ATI), issue of false invoices, money laundering and corruption; the port is therefore administered by the Italian judiciary.[1]
The Port of Rome is located immediately south of the mouth of the Tiber River, just 10 minutes by car from Fiumicino international airport and the archaeological park of Ostia Antica.It can be reached by public transport with the Rome-Lido "Metromare" railway.
