The Restyling of Rome’s Metro A
The renovation project for the Rome Metro Line A stations will be completed by December 2024, in time to welcome the millions of pilgrims and tourists who will visit the city during Jubilee 2025.
The goal is clear: to offer a public transport service that is not only efficient and safe, but also aesthetically pleasing, innovative, and sustainable.
Spagna Station: The Vertical Forest in the Heart of Rome
The Spagna station, located just steps from Piazza di Spagna, will be the project’s crowning glory. Upon entering, travelers will be greeted by a vertical forest, designed to purify the air, improve aesthetics, and convey a sense of harmony with nature.
This green choice sends an important signal: even urban infrastructure can be sustainable, helping make cities more livable.
Ottaviano Station: technology and comfort
Ottaviano station, a key hub for tourists heading to the Vatican, will feature:
- Dynamic LED lighting, which adapts to the time of day and seasons to improve visual comfort.
- Smart PVC flooring that is non-slip, durable, and easy to clean.
- New ergonomic furnishings: seats, wastebaskets, and newspaper holders to make waiting more comfortable.
- Clear and intuitive signage: a layout designed to make it easier for passengers to find their way around.
Cipro Station: the immersive experience
Cyprus Station will be the center of multimedia innovation. Here, travelers will enjoy an immersive experience thanks to:
- LED walls and digital screens will broadcast useful information, cultural content, and interactive advertising.
- Advanced communication systems to make travel not only more informative, but also more engaging.
At Laboratori, we are managing the installation of digital advertising monitors, a project that will replace traditional billboards and bring Rome into line with the world’s most modern subways.
More comfort and safety for passengers
The restyling of the three stations is not limited to aesthetics, but aims to improve safety and travel quality:
- Track replacement to ensure quieter, smoother rides.
- Enhanced emergency lighting for greater safety in case of need.
- Expanded video surveillance to ensure a safe environment for all travelers.
Rome towards the future: all stations renovated by 2026
Mayor Roberto Gualtieri declared: “Our goal is to give back to the Romans beautiful and functional stations.”
In fact, the restyling of Spagna, Ottaviano and Cipro represents only the beginning of a larger plan: by the end of 2026, all 27 stations of Metro A will be renovated.
The investment is not just infrastructural, but cultural and social: improving urban mobility in Rome means improving the quality of daily life for residents and offering visitors a modern and welcoming travel experience.
Conclusion
Rome’s Metro A line is preparing for an innovative, sustainable, and passenger-friendly future. With the redesign of the Spagna, Ottaviano, and Cipro stations, the capital’s public transportation will experience an unprecedented leap in quality.
A project that combines technology, design, sustainability, and safety, transforming the simple subway ride into a multisensory experience.
The future of mobility in Rome lies with Metro Line A: a journey that begins today, with an eye toward Jubilee 2025.
