Nuova Genoa Piazza Principe The station The station is the nerve center of the city transport system. Despite being a transit station, it is located in a strategic point, close to the city center; it has an average of 66,000 daily transits, for an annual total of over 24 million users, and is served by approximately 350 trains a day. The entrance to the station is located on Piazza Acquaverde. History Genoa Piazza Principe was built on a project by the architect Alessandro Mazzucchetti in 1860. The first complex consisted of a large single-span steel vault set on lateral buildings. The travelers building presented the typical features of neoclassical-inspired buildings: severe architectural lines and imposing and essential shapes. The portico, which still welcomes departing travelers today, is in Doric style, enriched by decorative elements that enhance the play of volumes. The continuous development of railway traffic soon made it necessary to expand it, carried out in 1900 on a project by Eng. Giacomo Radini Tedeschi. A bundle of the passing tracks was traced upstream of the head station, from which it was separated by the interposition of a new building. The need to serve the new bundle of tracks changed the flows and functions of the various rooms: the main atrium located in correspondence with the head gallery lost its centrality, to the advantage of a new decentralized atrium. During the war, the large steel vault was dismantled to use the metal for war purposes and was never rebuilt. The requalification The redevelopment works of the Genoa Piazza Principe station have significantly modified and improved both the internal routes and the offer of services thanks to the functional rearrangement of the spaces. The vertical connection systems have been rethought and replaced and a new connection node has been created between the station, the new underground car park with 284 parking spaces and the city subway. In this way, the station has significantly enhanced its already central importance as a city interchange hub. The surfaces intended for primary and secondary services have been significantly increased both thanks to the functional reorganization of the existing areas and thanks to the construction of new structures and new routes. The lay-out The station is divided into several buildings and several levels: il piano sotterraneo, occupato principalmente da locali tecnici e magazzini FS; il piano dei binari, posto a un livello inferiore rispetto al piano terra, quasi interamente occupato da locali tecnici, depositi, attività commerciali e servizi di ristorazione; il piano terra, composto dal fabbricato viaggiatori, sede delle attività commerciali e dei servizi per i passeggeri; i restanti livelli, interamente occupati da locali e uffici FS.
