Massa Centro railway station

Massa Centro railway station (Stazione di Massa Centro) serves the town and comune of Massa, in the region of Tuscany, central Italy. Opened in 1862, it forms part of the Pisa–La Spezia–Genoa railway.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services to and from the station are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.

Location

History
The station was opened on 1 November 1862, upon the inauguration of the Massa–Seravezza section of the Pisa–La Spezia–Genoa railway. Five months later, on 15 May 1863, the line was extended from Massa to Sarzana, in the neighbouring region of Liguria.

In 1939, the passenger building was renovated, to a design of the architect Roberto Narducci.

All regional trains passing through Massa Centro stop there, as do some InterCity, Eurostar City Italia and Eurostar Italia trains.
