Piazzale della Stazione Tiburtina, 495, Roma
Tiburtina Station, originally "Portonaccio", was inaugurated at the end of the nineteenth century. In the Thirties, it was expanded with the construction of a new passenger building, which was severely damaged during the Second World War and rebuilt in a simplified form. The new Tiburtina Station, the main hub for high speed on the north-south, was inaugurated in 2011 and dedicated to Cavour. Designed by the Roman "ABDR Associates Architects", the new Station consists of a tunnel-bridge covered in crystal and supported by steel uprights. The tunnel-bridge has as its starting point two atria, one on the side of the Nomentano district and one on the side of Pietralata district.
