history

Old building

The station was built by Salvatore Bianchi in 1867-1874 on the Esquiline hill . It was named after the Botte di Termini , an ancient cistern of the Diocletian's baths , the remains of which were demolished in 1876. From 1938 a complete new construction of the station according to plans by Angiolo Mazzoni began. In World War II, the work was interrupted. According to Mazzoni's plans, the massive lateral buildings had been completed by then in the classifying style of fascist razionalismo .

The main reception building ("Dinosauro"), on the other hand, was only built after the war with a completely different architectural concept (architects: Leo Calini, Massimo Castellazzi, Vasco Fadigati, Eugenio Montuori, Achille Pintonello, Annibale Vitellozzi, 1948–1951).

Extensive modernization measures were carried out for the Holy Year 2000; in addition to a renovation of the existing building structure in line with monument regulations, u. a. a new underground shopping center, the so-called Forum Termini , is being built. On December 23, 2006, the station was dedicated to the late Pope John Paul II .

The reinforced concrete lobby in the style of the New Building is 128 m long and 32 m wide. To the left of the main entrance are the remains of the Servian city wall from the 4th century BC. Chr.

The station is operated by a subsidiary of FS , GrandiStazioni SpA , which controls the 13 largest Italian stations. In long-distance traffic it is very easy to reach with EuroCity / InterCitys as well as with the trains of the Italian Pendolino / Eurostar high-speed network ; connected are among others the big cities of Milan , Naples and Turin . In transport it is via the metro station Termini to the metro -lines A and B of the metro system of Rome connected, and the Leonardo Express to Rome Fiumicino Airport wrong here. In the long term, the modernized Roma Tiburtina train station will develop into the most important train station in the greater Rome area.

In 2006 the station was opened in a ceremony in honor of the late Pope "Stazione Giovanni Paolo II." named.

At the end of the south wing of the station is the Roma Laziali station .
