In May 1944, it was destroyed by Allied bombing along with the nearby Grottarossa, during the advance of the Allies themselves to hunt the German settlements.

Yet it is still being expanded. On 29 September 2009 the president of AS Roma Rosella Sensi announced the project of building a new soccer stadium in the southern area, near the Via Aurelia.
