Between innovation, design and sustainability

The project represents a new concept of production, with the goal of becoming a centre of excellence and a point of reference at both regional and global level, built on the close link between research, production and education.

The restyling project for Line A of the Rome metro radically transformed one of the most iconic spaces in the history of metro networks. The intervention combined respect for the history of the place with an innovative vision, making the stations a welcoming and functional environment. Through collaboration between public and private entities, the restyling [1] updated the interiors, working on the design of the finishes, signage and lighting.

The new layout made it possible to create immersive routes that improve the travel experience and enhance the usability of the spaces for thousands of daily users. At the same time, the project successfully tackled water infiltration issues [2], incorporating passive systems and innovative solutions to preserve the structure and urban appearance.

The result was an environment that harmoniously blended historical heritage with contemporary technologies, ensuring safety, comfort and effective digital communication. The renovated stations along the line are no longer regarded as simple transit points, but as a symbol of urban regeneration and care for community wellbeing.
