ROME—Surrounded by daily traffic jams, the numerous signs on the Ponte Marconi bridge, located in the southern part of the Italian capital, simply say “Tìberis, the beach of Rome.”
Officially inaugurated on Aug. 4, 2018, the 10,000-square-meter (107,639 square-foot) artificial beach is inspired by the City of Lights’ Paris Plages, where temporary beaches pop up along the Seine in summer. The long-awaited beach is open every day—for free—until the end of September, from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
