The Embassy of Italy in Lebanon announced a new series of initiatives aimed at supporting the country’s post-conflict recovery and urban renewal through sustainable and inclusive development strategies.
In a press release issued on Friday, the Embassy emphasized that the efforts reflect a coordinated commitment by the broader Italian System in Lebanon, including the Italian Cultural Institute, the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and the Italian Trade Agency, in partnership with Lebanese institutions, civil society and the private sector.
The program kicks off on April 14 with a Roundtable on Urban Regeneration at the Italian Embassy, where Italian and Lebanese experts will discuss participatory urban renewal, including the rehabilitation of the historic Mar Mikhael train station.
Other highlights include Italy’s participation in City Debates 2025 at the American University of Beirut (AUB), the international symposium “Post-War Reconstruction: Tools for After” hosted by the Lebanese University in Beirut (LAU) on April 16 and Italy’s national pavilion at Project Lebanon 2025 in May.
The press release also noted ongoing restoration work at the “Ardea Purpurea” fountain in Verdun and upcoming cultural exhibitions, underlining Italy’s continued support for Lebanon’s reconstruction and future development.
