The Station
Rome Tiburtina is the second largest railway station in the capital in terms of traffic volume and type, with around 500 trains per day, 140,000 daily transits, and 51 million users per year.
In addition to being a crucial hub for mobility in Rome, Rome Tiburtina was the first station of the High-Speed Rail System on the Turin–Milan–Salerno line to be completed. It is poised to become a key space for the city's growth, offering significant development potential both for residential and business purposes.
Innovation, technology, customer focus, and functionality: approximately 35,000 square meters of publicly accessible areas, including about 18,000 square meters dedicated to passenger services, dining, retail spaces, and exhibition areas — all within an architectural project of great value.
A showcase of high-quality contemporary railway architecture, featuring futuristic design, Rome Tiburtina embodies the excellence of a "place for the city" and stands as one of the largest urban infrastructure projects in Italy.
At the heart of the project is a large glass gallery built above the existing railway platform, functioning as an urban boulevard that connects two districts: Pietralata and Nomentano. Stretching 300 meters in length and 60 meters in width, the gallery above the tracks is a glass parallelepiped hosting services for both travelers and the city. This great "suspended container" is continuously enriched with new services, making it a fully functional and dynamic hub for Italy's High-Speed Rail network, as well as a vibrant space for the city's residents.
The Cavour Plaque
The commemorative plaque dedicated to Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, located in the Nomentano Hall of the new High-Speed Rail (AV) station at Rome Tiburtina, was created under the auspices of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers as part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy.
On the plaque, resembling an open book set in the corner of the station's atrium, two speeches are engraved: on the West side, the speech delivered by Cavour to the Chamber of Deputies on March 25, 1861; and on the South side, the one on “railways,” delivered in 1846.
The two large inscription panels are made by assembling modular corten steel sheets. A total of 90 sheets form 45 panels, creating an installation that covers 150 square meters, weighs 13 tons, and contains 1,000 words and 6,000 characters.
The West inscription, featuring the "Speech to the Chamber of Deputies," measures 5.48 meters in width and 20.16 meters in height. The 36 panels that compose it cover a total area of 110 square meters, with each panel measuring 150 cm in width and 216 cm in height, except for the topmost row where the panels are 272 cm tall.
The South inscription, featuring the "Speech on Railways," measures 2 meters in width and 20.16 meters in height. The 9 panels that compose it cover a total area of 40 square meters. Each panel is 200 cm wide, with the text itself occupying 182 cm of that width.
The lower edge on both sides includes a macro-caption, 232 cm high, placed at human height, which describes the content of the plaque. Above Cavour’s name, a significant phrase concisely captures the essence of the text.
The three types of inscription — the caption, the large "Cavour" inscription, and the speeches — correspond to different levels of reading depending on the observer’s viewpoint.
Each traveler can create their own personal reading experience, shaped by their perspective, distance, and the portion of the plaque they engage with.
Security
At Rome Tiburtina Station, a control room is in operation to ensure continuous monitoring of the station through security services and the supervision of safety systems.
In addition, a dedicated security service is in place to monitor the areas, detect and report non-conformities, and carry out security interventions. This service also supports emergency management, together with maintenance personnel, by providing initial response actions and assistance to external emergency teams.
To support and optimize human resources, the station is equipped with advanced safety and security systems, including:
video surveillance and digital video recording systems;
access control and intrusion detection systems;
fire detection systems.
The overall system is managed in close coordination with the Railway Police (Polizia Ferroviaria), ensuring immediate escalation procedures for the management of any critical situations.
