Headquarters of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane in Rome

The Ferrovie dello Stato was created with Law No. 137 of April 22nd, 1905. The Italian state took over the three largest railway companies in the country and the public authorities received the directive for those parts of the Italian railways that had not yet been transferred to private companies . On June 15 of the same year, the Ferrovie dello Stato was set up by decree , which in turn came under the administration of the Ministry of Public Works .

The railway companies that were not privately owned were subordinated to the newly founded FS. This particularly concerned the:

• Società Italiana per le strade ferrate meridionali (SFM), operator of the Rete Adriatica (RA), with last 5,602 km of routes in Lombardy, Veneto and the area of ​​the Adriatic coast
• Società per le Strade Ferrate del Mediterraneo , operator of the Rete Mediterranea (RM), with last 5,765 km of routes in Piedmont and the southwest coast
• Società per le Strade Ferrate della Sicilia , operator of Rete Sicula (RS), with most recently 1,093 km of routes in Sicily.

In 1906 the FS sold the private network of the SFM (Adriabahn with several branch lines).

At the beginning of 1998, FS founded Italiana Transporti Ferroviaria, a subsidiary for IC and high-speed traffic. The state railway held a 51 percent stake in the company, the remaining 49 percent a consortium of eight banks.

At the beginning of December 2010, a consortium of FS and the French-Luxembourg financial investor Cube Infrastructure bought Arriva Deutschland from Deutsche Bahn , which was then renamed Netinera .

On July 25, 2012, the Italian antitrust authorities fined the FS subsidiary Trenitalia , which is responsible for traffic, and Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, which is responsible for the infrastructure, for obstructing the market access of the competitor Arenaways .

On January 18, 2017, the Greek state railway TrainOSE was sold to the Italian state railway Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane for 45 million euros. The transfer of ownership took place on September 14, 2017.
