Not only the Colosseum, the Imperial Forum and the Trevi Fountain<\/a>: Rome<\/strong>, the eternal city, is also the acrid, sweet smell of roasted chestnuts that wafts through the alleys of the historic center as soon as the temperatures begin to drop. A ritual that has been repeated identical to itself for centuries: already in the Naturalis Historia <\/em>Pliny the Elder told of this fruit. But even the most deeply rooted traditions must come to terms with modernity. And with the ecological transition<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Rome’s City Hall I approved the new Public Area Trade Plan<\/strong> in 2025, marking the beginning of a new era for the capital’s historic hawkers. And the time has come to say goodbye to rusty braziers, flying wires and plastic decorations, and to welcome, at long last, boilermakers 2.0.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Ancient design, new energy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The focus of the change lies in the marriage of historic aesthetics and clean technology: the new stalls are designed to harmonize with urban decor<\/strong>, but conceal a technological soul.<\/strong> And each station will be limited to one square meter of floor space, a perimeter of order that puts a stop to the chaos of impromptu banquets. So, new technical specifications draw a very clear outline for future stations: the heart of the business will be a strictly black wrought-iron stove with a diameter of 60 centimeters, flanked by a matching box 35 centimeters on each side, intended to house the straw paper and bags of chestnuts. But the real breakthrough lies in the final farewell to external electrical connections<\/strong>, replaced by small integrated solar panels<\/strong> that will independently provide the energy needed for lighting and operation of the station. <\/p>\n\n
