Rome
Termini station is the biggest station in Europe and the first
tangible testimony of the work done with the “Grandi Stazioni”
(Great Stations) programme. .The
renovation project has concerned not only the architectonic
aspect of the station but also the services offered to the
public. Conservative restoration work has been carried out
on the monumental parts of the building, including the redevelopment
of the stairs, lifts, moving walkways and also renovation
work to bring the sign system up to date.
