The Roma San Pietro station has been upgraded on the occasion of the Jubilee 2025, after an EUR 11 million FS Group project.
Present at the station inspection were the Government's Extraordinary Commissioner for the Jubilee, the Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, and the Chairman of FS Group Tommaso Tanzilli.
‘This here goes far beyond a simple renovation work on a station. This is a top-quality urban regeneration and intermodality intervention, and to have achieved it in a year and a half without interrupting the service is truly a remarkable achievement - said the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri. San Pietro is a special station, and even though it is considered minor compared to Termini and Tiburtina, with 254 trains stopping there everyday, it holds great potential for growth. It is a complex station - now even more decorous and beautiful - which connects with many intermodal projects to turn the railway network into a truly integrated surface subway’.
‘It is a great honour to be here today to share the results of the Roma San Pietro station’s redevelopment, after a major renovation project that required an investment of EUR 11 million, 1.7 million of which came from Jubilee funds - said FS Group’s Chairman, Tommaso Tanzilli - This intervention is part of a broader plan to modernise and upgrade the railway infrastructure promoted by the FS Group, in line with our 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, with the aim of making the mobility system increasingly efficient, accessible and sustainable.’
The works performed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, which lasted about a year and a half, have succeeded in completely redeveloping the station's interior and exterior, to ensure complete accessibility, especially for people with reduced mobility, enhancing modal interchange with soft and sustainable mobility systems, and improving attractiveness through a renovated architectural language, better lighting, new signs and furnishings, and extended and renewed spaces and paths for access, transit and waiting.
Inside the station, the passenger transit and waiting areas were also modernised to include structural improvements to the floors, and a renovated lighting and signalling system.
In addition, the three underpasses and the access stairs to the station platforms and external areas were completely upgraded, the second platform was repaved, new canopies were built and existing ones were upgraded, and public information signs on the station underpasses and platforms were redeveloped.
The project also involved the external areas owned by Roma Capitale and relating to the station’s access areas. Among other things, the forecourt in front of the passenger building was redeveloped, the central underpass exit area on Clivio di Monte del Gallo was restyled, and the pedestrian area on Via Gregorio VII was modernized.
