context_page_description: Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane S.p.A., is a state-owned holding company that manages infrastructure and services on the Italian rail network.
  One of the subsidiaries of the company, Trenitalia, is the main rail operator in Italy, and another, TrainOSE, is a rail operator in Greece.
context_section_description: The newly born Ferrovie dello Stato underwent major structural transformations between 1986 and 1992. The workforce was reduced to half: from 216,310 employees in 1988 to 112,018 in 1999. Divisions were created to rationalize the management.
  The company was privatized in 1992 with the creation of the new Ferrovie dello Stato SpA, a joint-stock company, following a European guideline. However, the privatization was only nominal, since shares were still owned by the Italian Government.
  On 1 June 2000, the company's two main divisions, service and infrastructure, were separated and two different independent companies were created: Trenitalia, responsible for transport service, and Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, responsible for the management of the rail infrastructure. Both companies were still subsidiaries of Ferrovie dello Stato Holding SpA.
  In 2011 Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane bought the German Netinera.
  In July 2016 Busitalia (part of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane) purchased the Dutch company Qbuzz.
  In February 2017 Trenitalia bought from National Express the British Train operating company c2c.
  In September 2017, an agreement to buy 100% of TrainOSE (the Greek railways) for €45 million was signed.
