Grandi Stazioni S.p.A. (English: Great Stations) is a member company of Italy's Ferrovie dello Stato (English: State Railways) group. It was created to rehabilitate and manage, even commercially, the 13 biggest Italian railway stations.

Stations under management

The Roma Termini railway station was the pilot of the Grandi Stazioni program.

The Italian railway stations currently operated by the group are:

Stations with darker background are not served by High-speed trains

In addition to these, the forthcoming Napoli Afragola and Firenze Belfiore stations, which will be part of Italian high-speed rail system, will also be included in this list.

Grandi Stazioni also operates beyond Italy's national borders: since December 2003, the company has adopted a position in the Czech Republic for the upgrading and management of three major railway stations: Praha hlavní nádraží, Karlovy Vary upper station (horní nádraží) and Mariánské Lázně.[2] In 2016 (after 13 years) Grandi Stazioni has failed to deliver the contractual obligation to reconstruct the Praha hlavní nádraží and has lost the lease. Grandi Stazioni has decided to sue the Czech Railway Infrastructure Administration for damages without providing the paperwork proving the actual costs spent.[3]

Shareholders

Grandi Stazioni SpA is 60% controlled by Ferrovie dello Stato and 40% by Eurostazioni SpA.
