In Bagnoli, the reclamation of the area in front of the landfill has officially begun, a historic project that marks the city's return to its forgotten waterfront. As the special commissioner and mayor of Bagnoli emphasizes, Napoli Gaetano Manfredi, “This is an important step towards restoring the sea to the city and giving the area a new lease of life, after years of waiting.”
The work involves a temporary consortium of companies that will handle marine remediation, excavation, and re-profiling of the seabed, as well as securing the landfill itself.

The project, which is part of the broader context of the candidacy of Napoli as the venue for the 38th edition of the prestigious international sailing race, it has an estimated value of 200 million euros and will continue until May 2026.
Manfredi emphasizes how institutional synergy is crucial to accelerating the planned activities and finally delivering a usable area to residents. A conference of services will be convened next week to obtain permits for the pre-feasibility study for the event, which includes excavation and seabed re-profiling, confirming the Bagnoli landfill as the epicenter of the America's Cup teams and fan area.
