the historic centre
The section of Line C that goes from San Giovanni station (excluded) to Colosseum – Imperial Forums is currently under construction. It extends for about 3 kilometers with 2 stations, Porta Metronia and Colosseum – Imperial Forums, plus 2 ventilation shafts, one located in the gardens of Via Sannio, already completed, the other inside the gardens of Piazza Celimontana, under construction.
Both stations of the so-called T3 section will be subject to specific museum enhancement projects, as the excavations have brought to light some of the most significant archaeological discoveries recorded in Rome in recent years. During the excavations of the Porta Metronia station, important historical structures were found, such as the ancient Roman barracks with over thirty rooms decorated with wall frescoes and mosaic floors, which is the subject of a specific installation project inside the station.
The Colosseum – Imperial Forums station plays a strategic role because it is located within the Colosseum Archaeological Park, in one of the most visited monumental areas in the world.

San Giovanni
22 Stations in operation
The San Giovanni Station plays a fundamental role in the construction of Line C, especially because it represents the first interchange node with the existing Line A. The project underwent several evolutions following the results of archaeological investigations. The discovery of ancient structures to be preserved, up to a depth of about 18-20 meters from the ground level, led the Special Superintendence for the Archaeological Heritage of Rome to prescribe the impossibility of carrying out ground consolidations from the ground level, favoring open-air excavations with archaeological methods in the backfill soils, up to about 19 meters deep, excluding the realization of mechanized excavations for the construction of line tunnels in the section between San Giovanni Station and Amba Aradam/Ipponio Station.

Synthetic construction data
The Venezia station
The construction of the Venezia station represents an extraordinary engineering challenge not only for the relevance of the area in which it is located, characterized by the presence of monumental buildings such as the Vittoriano, Palazzo Venezia and the Roman Forum. The station is also a nerve centre for pedestrian and vehicular flows in the historic centre of Rome where this pedestrian and vehicular flow of the historic centre also needs to be preserved.
The final project provides for an underground connection of the Venezia station atrium, located in the centre of the square, with the nearby museum complexes (Palazzo Venezia and Vittoriano) and with the Trajan’s Forum: a passage capable of creating a continuum in time and space, under the banner of Rome’s history and culture.
