Tiber Island, shaped by legend and history, has long served as a sanctuary of healing and hope. According to myth, during a devastating plague, Romans sailed to Greece to bring back a healing temple. Their ship drifted down the Tiber River and came to rest, transforming into the island itself — a vessel of healing anchored in the river. Today, it shelters a hospital, the Basilica of St. Bartholomew, and ancient temple remains. This project reimagines the island through "Healing Paths," introducing new circulation and natural spaces that reconnect people with the river and history. New programs — a bathhouse and a theatre — are linked by green pathways, promoting tranquility and renewal. Floodwaters are gently invited into daily life, and removing river walls restores the island’s bond with the Tiber.
