Rovereto railway station (Italian: Ferrovie Stazione di Rovereto ) serves the Comune of Rovereto in the autonomous province of Trentino, northeastern Italy. Opened in 1859, when Trentino (German: Welschtirol) was in the Austrian Empire, Rovereto station is located on the Brenner Railway connecting Verona and Innsbruck.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). The commercial area of the passenger building, however, is managed by Centostazioni, whereas train services are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of FS, Italy's state-owned rail company.

Location

Rovereto railway station is situated at Piazzale Paolo Orsi, the western edge and a five-minute walk to the city centre.

History

The station was opened on 23 March 1859, upon the completion of the Trento-Ala section of the Brenner Railway.[1]

Initial operations were entrusted to the Austrian Empire's Südbahn (Imperial Royal Privileged Southern Railway Company of Austria, Venice and Central Italy / German: Kaiserlich königliche privilegierte Südbahngesellschaft) until the end of the First World War.

After Austria-Hungary's defeat and signing of the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919), Trentino, along with South Tyrol, was annexed to Italy. Ownership of all railway stations from Ala/Ahl-am-Etsch to Brenner, including Rovereto, were transferred to the FS.

Features

The station yard

The station has three tracks with platforms for passenger trains and additional tracks in the goods yard, which can be accessed by trucks and other vehicles from Via Zeni.

There are plans to transfer the goods yard to Mori station to make room for a larger, bifrontal station, providing access on both sides from Piazzale Orsi and Via Zeni.[2]

Passenger and train movements

The station has about two million passenger movements each year, and is therefore, in terms of passenger numbers, the third biggest in the region, after Bolzano/Bozen and Trento.[3]

All types of train passing through Rovereto, including InterCity and Eurostar Italia (now Freccia) trains, call at the station. The main domestic destinations are Verona, Venice/Venezia, Trento/Trient and Bolzano/Bozen, but passengers also depart for and arrive from other domestic destinations such as Bologna or Rome. The main international links are Munich and Innsbruck.
