Venice Station, the construction of a unique underground

In this 3D reconstruction we show you where the Venice Station will be located in the underground of the square, how it will be built, with what machinery and what the interior will look like.

The station will have eight levels below ground and three entrances: two leading to Palazzo Venezia and Auditoria di Adriano with escalators and a bank of elevators, and another towards Vittoriano with an open staircase. 

The station’s location will make it 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 Venezia Station will also serve as an archeological museum, with the first level dedicated to artifacts uncovered during the excavation. An estimated 66,000 cubic metres of ground are expected to be dug for archeological purposes. Discoveries have already been made, including the Auditoria di Adriano, one of the most significant in recent times. The construction techniques that have been adopted and the protocols taken for archeological research with Rome’s Superintendency will not only safeguard this heritage but also create an opportunity for the Line C.
