Maximo Shopping Center — Local services in Rome

Being a wheelchair user I was faced with steep steps on arrival in a taxi whilst on a short break in Rome. There was a wheelchair stair lift but no one answered the intercom button so my partner had to carry the heavy electric wheelchair down the steps whilst I used my crutches which I had fortunately taken with me. My wheelchair ran out of power and I had seen on the Web page that there were charging facilities so eventually found the information desk only to be told there were none! My partner pushed me around and we eventually figured out that there was a bench with a charging socket so I sat there for a while whilst it was charging. We needed to go to the first floor so hoped there was another bench with charging. Getting to the lift was a nightmare- it wasn't clearly signposted and was through emergency type doors that needed someone to hold it open - no good when you're alone obviously. Again not clearly signposted and found the lift by chance. Upstairs there was indeed a bench with an electricity socket and I sat there for an hour only to discover it'd hadn't charged at all 😢 we left shortly after and again found that no one answered the intercom for the chair lift but luckily 2 kind men carried the wheelchair up the stairs for me whilst my partner had gone to find a security guard to ask how we could use the chairlift. Communicating with the security guards was difficult and my partner had to do actions to explain what a wheelchair was. I has set off for the trip feeling confident that my mobility difficulties would be catered for but in fact it was a nightmare. My partner has a spinal problem and shouldn't lift anything and instead had to risk his own...

La nuova nave di Teseo.

Se l'intenzione fosse quella di rendere onore alla storia di Roma, a Roma e al popolo romano l'intitolazione del megastore poco o nulla avrebbe in termini di elementi strutturali ed architettonici; se, al contrario, la struttura è stata idealizzata e valutata in chiave moderna le sensazioni percepite mutano radicalmente e prende corpo e sostanza persino il titolo Maximo così caro in periodo imperiale. Piuttosto, una neonata nave di Teseo parrebbe essere approdata sulle rive di una Laurentina - confusa più per una sponda del Tevere che per una strada consolare - tanto da essere invasa da una moltitudine ed inusuale presenza di persone che per nulla al mondo parrebbero intente a perdere l'imbarcazione, salpare le ancore pur di lanciarsi in terre inesplorate fatte di brand, griffe e quegli standard commerciali tanto in voga; il tutto accompagnato dallo sguardo tra l'attonito e l'imprecatorio di quei numerosissimi guidatori congestionati nel traffico e calati a forza invece nella realta' metropolitana.

Ad ogni modo, forse il miglior centro commerciale presente nel territorio in quanto a struttura: ampio, luminoso, solido, moderno, funzionale, ottimo nel pregio del materiale utilizzato a partire dalla pavimentazione. Dalla presenza di molti marchi come H&M, Euronics, la new entry anglosassone Primark e una palestra Mcfit, La Maison du Monde, un supermarket, cinema multisala, parco giochi bambini, uno shop per gli amanti degli animali, e soprattutto una gran varieta' di ristori (bar, ristoranti, enoteche, bistrot, fast food, japanese food, gelaterie).

Note negative : La posizione angusta e la carenza di infrastrutture rende il sito di ardua accessibilita'. I camminamenti pedonali, infatti, sono scarsi e pericolosi. Assembramenti inevitabili per le enormi file sia all'esterno sia all'interno del cc. I parcheggi interni privi di indicazioni non facilitano il raggiungimento del centro commerciale e possono indurre a desistere o a dover sostare il veicolo esternamente. Attenzione alle multe.
