The Roma Tiburtina railway station is a through station and after the main railway station Termini is the second largest train station in Rome . It is located in the northeast of the Italian capital and is operated by the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), an organizational unit of the Ferrovie dello Stato . From 2001 to 2018, the Centostazioni company was responsible for marketing and leasing the retail space .

history

The first station in Tiburtina was opened in 1866 during the opening of the first section of the line to Florence and was initially called Portonaccio ; Until the 1920s, the station was outside the built-up urban area. With a view to the planned World Exhibition in 1942, the redesign of numerous train stations in Rome began, including Roma Tiburtina. A new reception building was designed by Angiolo Mazzoni and built from 1937.

During the Second World War , Wehrmacht troops occupied Italy in July 1943 (" Axis Case ") after Mussolini had been deposed. On July 12th they occupied Rome. On July 19, 1943, the building was largely destroyed in an air raid by US bombers.

On October 18, 1943, over a thousand recently arrested Jewish people were crammed into 18 cattle wagons at the Tiburtina train station and transported from there via Brenner to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp . Only 15 men and one woman survived.

In the 1950s, the station was rebuilt in a simplified form. Some of the water towers typical of Mazzoni's railway station architecture are still preserved from the building.

In 1990 the construction of a new station building was started, which was supposed to cross the entire track system. Initially, however, only the supporting platform for this structure was erected and the old station building was retained. The design by the architecture firm ABDR Architetti Associati under the leadership of the architect Paolo Desideri emerged as the winner from a competition, which was implemented from 2007.

On July 24, 2011, a wing of the old train station was destroyed by fire; he was banned because of the risk of collapse. The firefighters fought the fire for around 15 hours. Because of the fire, railway systems were also closed, which led to chaos in Italian rail traffic, as the signal box of the station was destroyed by the fire. The new building was not affected by the fire.

The new building was inaugurated on November 28, 2011 in the presence of the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and named after Camillo Benso von Cavour . Since the Tiburtina train station is designed as a transit point, the high-speed trains in the north-south traffic that do not end in Rome, the terminal station Roma Termini not and must not there head make . Instead, they are now stopping at the Roma Tiburtina through station, which has received a new feeder line to the high-speed line to Naples .

The new station building is designed as a 300 m long bridge that spans all 22 tracks at a height of 9 m. Of these, 20 have a platform edge and can be reached directly from the bridge via escalators and elevators . Two tracks are used to pass through without stopping. The bridge directly connects the districts of Nomentano and Pietralata, which were previously separated from each other by the train. Inside there are ticket offices, waiting rooms, shops and other facilities for travelers, some of which are housed in bunks suspended halfway up the hall. The outer facade is clad with transparent glass. A photovoltaic system is located on the roof, which is designed as a steel structure . Outside the building there is a lane on one side of the bridge that is reserved for taxis and emergency vehicles.
