It is also the largest station in Europe by volume.
It opened on July 1, 1931, replacing an older station from 1864.
The monumental building (designed by Ulisse Stacchini) features 24 tracks, a façade approximately 200 meters wide, and a high canopy.
The architecture is a mix of Jugendstil/Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and elements intended to express the grandeur of the fascist regime.
Approximately 320,000–330,000 travelers pass through daily.
It is a major hub for high-speed trains (including to Turin, Venice, Bologna, Rome, and Naples) and international connections (including to Switzerland).
