Metropolitana di Roma Linea C, posa della prima pietra per la Stazione Venezia
The laying of the first stone of the future Venezia Station of Line C was celebrated on June 22, 2023, in the heart of Rome. The line will be the first in the Italian capital to have driverless trains.
Located at the centre of the piazza of the same name, the station will be a hub for the museums in the area. At the top level, the public will have access to Palazzo Venezia and the Auditoria di Adriano, and the archeological area of the Imperial Fora. The station will also provide access to the Vittoriano.
The line will be a total of 26 kilometres in length and have 29 stations. Some 19 kilometres of it is already in operation, with 22 stations between Montecompatri/Pantano to the east and San Giovanni near the centre. Section T3 between San Giovanni and Colosseo/Fori Imperiali is under construction, with the tunnels having been completed up to the site of the future Venezia Station.
