A new look for Rome’s Piazza dei Cinquecento square in front of the Termini railway station, thanks to the redevelopment by the FS Group.

The square is now ready to receive Jubilee pilgrims

This renovation coincides with this 2025 Jubilee year with over 850,000 square feet of surface area of the square completely redeveloped with precious materials. This is one of the essential projects carried out on behalf of the government's extraordinary commissioner for the Jubilee, the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri.  “The recovery of an area like this in front of Rome’s main train station is truly invaluable for the reception of passengers and pilgrims during the Jubilee,- said the FS Group's general director, Stefano Antonio Donnarumma. -As part of a €100 billion investment plan, we are actively collaborating with the Municipality of Rome and the other institutions involved, with this contribution from a state asset that will be 120 years old this year playing an incisive role.”

A redesigned bus terminal and taxi dock

Roma Termini is Rome's most important railway station, as well as being the largest in Italy in terms of traffic and among the main stations in Europe. The work on the sprawling construction site, in the heart of the eternal City, involved the redevelopment and surface redevelopment of three areas for an expenditure of €45 million and 540 days work, while the perimeter area cost €21 million. This project seeks to strengthen the connection between monuments and the surrounding archaeological sites, while also elevating the architectural and environmental quality of the entire setting. The bus terminal was redesigned with a new taxi dock, a new system of bicycle lanes and a pedestrian area. Some 91% of the works have already been completed, with the remaining 9% on the central part of the square due to to be completed by the summer, ahead of schedule.
