Our History
A journey over 100 years long
In 1905, a dream of modernity came to life in Italy, with the foundation of Ferrovie dello Stato, taking a decisive step towards the unification of the country and a tangible sign of progress.
At a time when Italy was still trying to define its identity, under the leadership of engineer Riccardo Bianchi - its first General Manager - the company embarked on a journey that mixed innovation, ambition and vision.
By adopting advanced technologies and completing major railway works, the transport system was renewed, and it became the symbol of a growing, connected and forward-looking country.
Ferrovie dello Stato is deeply intertwined with Italian history, and has become an indispensable pillar in the construction of a modern, strong and cohesive nation.
Since then, FS Group has contributed significantly to the economic, social and cultural growth of the country.
