The station Roma Ostiense is after the Roma Termini train station and the train station Roma Tiburtina the third largest station in the Italian capital Rome . The station is managed by the FS subsidiary Centostazioni, which is responsible for the 103 medium-sized stations in Italy . The station is served by both long-distance and local trains and marks one of the most important transport hubs in Rome with the nearby Porta San Paolo terminus on the railway line to Ostia and the Piramide metro station. The neighboring stations are Trastevere and Tuscolana .
history
The Ostiense station replaces an older predecessor building and, like the new construction of the Roman main station Roma Termini at the same time, was part of the traffic planning for the 1942 World Exhibition , which ultimately no longer took place due to the Second World War. The station building, designed by the house architect of the national railway company Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS) Roberto Narducci, was opened to traffic in 1940. The construction was accelerated on the occasion of Adolf Hitler's visit to Benito Mussolini in 1938, as the reception by the King and the Duce took place in Ostiense. The building was erected in monumental forms that corresponded to the fascist need for representation and were increasingly based on the buildings of the National Socialists in Germany. The unrealized Italian pavilion of the world exhibition, also by Narducci, was planned in an almost identical form.
Air Terminal
In the course of the football World Cup in Italy in 1990, the Air Terminal was built south of the train station on the opposite side of the tracks, based on plans by Spanish architect Julio Lafuente, as the end of a rail link to Rome-Fiumicino airport , and the Rome-Fiumicino line was also rebuilt. After the World Cup, however, the offer was not used as planned, the number of passengers did not meet expectations, the trains to the airport were therefore integrated into Rome's S-Bahn network and the Air Terminal closed.
FS infrastructure subsidiary Rete Ferroviaria Italiana sold the terminal in 2009 for almost eleven million euros to Geal, which was planning a shopping center in the building. In 2010, Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV) , founded as a competitor to FS, announced that its high-speed trains under the brand name .italo would not stop at Termini in Rome, but rather at Roma Tiburtina and Ostiense station, so that their own trains would be relatively independent of FS traffic to be able to handle. In 2012, NTV started operations at the Air Terminal in Ostiense with the Venice – Rome and Turin – Salerno lines. NTV has also been serving Termini station since 2014, and trains on the Turin – Salerno route have only stopped at Tiburtina and Termini stations in Rome since then.
The terminal building itself has been used since 2012 by the international food chain Eataly , which is linked to the Slow Food movement and uses the hall as a market hall with numerous shops and several restaurants. Eataly also works as a caterer for NTV.
traffic
The FS subsidiary Trenitalia , which is responsible for operational traffic, serves the station with long-distance, local and regional trains. In addition, the former Air Terminal in Ostiense is start resp. End point of some of the Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV) high-speed trains .
Long-distance transport
In long-distance traffic, Trenitalia serves the station daily with three pairs of InterCity trains: Salerno Centrale – Torino Porta Nuova, Roma Termini – Ventimiglia and Napoli Centrale – Livorno Centrale. A night train on the Turin – Salerno route also stops. The Eurostar Italia trains, which connect Rome with Milan via Genoa, pass the station without stopping.
From Ostiense, NTV offers a total of up to seven train pairs to Milan, Turin and Venice every day.
Regional and local transport
The station is part of the S-Bahn-like local train system of the agglomeration of Rome and is served by the FL1, FL3 and FL5 lines.
