In the last few days of June, *Il Fatto Quotidiano* published several investigative articles, written by Maria Maggiore and Alessandro Mantovani, on an issue that, as the newspaper itself writes, is causing no small amount of embarrassment for the Rome City Council and Mayor Roberto Gualtieri<\/a>. In short, the story concerns a prestigious property, the former Convent of Sant\u2019Ambrogio, located in the heart of Rome, which the City of Rome granted free of charge to the local Jewish Community to serve as the headquarters of the \u201cRenzo Levi\u201d high school, a private comprehensive school. At the center of the controversy\u2014and an appeal filed with the Regional Administrative Court (TAR) by various associations<\/a> \u2013 the procedure followed is the direct assignment of public property to a private party, without any call for bids or public review. During the vote in the Rome City Council, the majority groups voted in favor, with the sole exception of Rome Futura council members Tiziana Biolghini and Giovanni Caudo, who abstained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation by Maggiore and Mantovani also reveals the existence of Israeli sponsors with dubious reputations and proven links to Tel Aviv's political and military establishment. Another inflammatory element in this whole affair is the involvement of the Assessor for Heritage, Tobia Zevi, in the same Roman Jewish Community (CER) which was allocated the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collusion with Israel<\/a> that the Rome's City Council denies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This situation is alongside others, which shed light on a disturbing entanglement between Roberto Gualtieri's administration, the majority supporting it, and both CER and Israeli interests as such, such as the ongoing commercial relationship of the municipal company FARMACAP with the Israeli company TEVA, whose medicines are regularly sold in almost fifty Roman municipal pharmacies, or the nebulous nature of relations between ACEA and the Israeli company MEKOROT, a public company that deals with water management, taking it away from the Palestinians, not to mention the massive presence of real estate investments that also fall under Israeli entities, as in the case of the \u201cregeneration\u201d of the former General Markets<\/a> in Ostiense, which should become luxury student accommodation and is causing the revolt of the local citizens, who would prefer a social and environmental redevelopment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
