Roma Termini, the main railway station of Rome, is named after the district of the same name, which in turn took its name from ancient Baths of Diocletian, which lie across the street from the main entrance. The station has regular train services to all major Italian cities, as well as daily international services to Munich, Geneva and Vienna. With 33 platforms and more than 150 million passengers each year, Roma Termini is the second largest railway station in Europe after Paris Gare du Nord.
Pope Pius IX opened the first temporary Termini Station in 1863. The dilapidated Villa Montalto-Peretti, erected in the 16th century by Pope Sixtus V, was chosen as the site for this new station. Construction of the permanent station began in 1868 and was completed in 1874 after the capture of Rome and installing of government of United Italy. It was laid out according to a plan by the architect Salvatore Bianchi. In 1937, it was decided to replace the old station, as part of the planning for the 1942 World's Fair, which was never held because of the outbreak of World War II. The old station was demolished, and part of the new station was constructed, but work was halted in 1943 as the Italian fascist government collapsed. The side structures of the design by Angiolo Mazzoni del Grande are still part of the current-day station. The current building was designed by the two teams selected through a competition in 1947: Leo Calini and Eugenio Montuori; Massimo Castellazzi, Vasco Fadigati, Achille Pintonello and Annibale Vitellozzi. It was inaugurated in 1950. The building is characterized by the linear lobby hall, a tall space of monumental dimensions. This great hall is fronted by full height glass walls covered with a concrete roof that consists of a flattened and segmented arch, a modernist version of a barrel vault from a Roman bath.
