The Milan – Venice railway is one of the most important main lines in Italy . It connects the capital of the northern Italian region of Lombardy , Milan, with the city ​​of Venice on the Adriatic in the Veneto region . The line is operated by the state-owned company Rete Ferroviaria Italiana .

history

The route was planned by the Austrian Kingdom of Lombardo-Venetia to connect Milan with Venice . For this purpose the Imperiale Regia Privilege Strada ferrata Ferdinandea Lombardo-Veneta dell'Imperatore was founded. The route was built in several sections:

• The first section from Padua to Marghera was opened on December 13, 1842.
• On January 13, 1846, the 3.2 km long bridge over the Venice lagoon was opened. This bridge has 222 arches.
• On January 11, 1846, the Padua - Vicenza section was opened
• On February 15, 1846, the Milan - Treviglio section was put into operation.

The Brescia – Bergamo section was opened on April 22, 1854. The route was completed with the opening of the section between Bergamo and Treviglio on October 12, 1857. The original route via Treviglio, Bergamo and Brescia was 285 km long. The direct line between Rovato and Treviglio was opened on March 5, 1878.

In 1852 the operating company was taken over by the state, but was privatized in 1856. Rothschild Frères bought the company for 156.25 million gold francs and founded the Societé IR Privilégiée des Chemins de Fer Lombards-Vénitiens et de l'Italie Centrale . After the Third Italian War of Independence , Veneto became Italian. Now the route has become part of the Società per le strade ferrate dell 'Alta Italia . In 1885 the route became part of the Rete Adriatica and in 1905 the route was taken over by the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane . The electrification with 3000 V was completed in 1956.

business

The length of the line is 267 km, it is double-track and electrified. The main stations are in Brescia , Verona , Vicenza , Padua and Mestre . There are also connections to other public transport.
