Yesterday, Impresa Pizzarotti Chairman Paolo Pizzarotti, CEO Riccardo Garrè and General Manager Francesco Aguglia, travelled to Florence together with FS Group CEO Stefano Antonio Donnarumma, the President of the Region of Tuscany Eugenio Giani and the Mayor of Florence Sara Funaro for a technical inspection of the construction sites of the Passante AV, a strategic work for the entire country.

The project, which aims to improve the mobility of Florence and the surrounding areas, safeguarding urban and environmental balances and providing it with new sustainable infrastructures, envisages the construction of two tunnels and a new station dedicated exclusively to high-speed trains, thus creating new underground infrastructures that will allow high-speed trains to operate without interfering with regional trains.

This will improve punctuality and increase the number of trains running above ground, facilitating an increase in local services. The new station will serve as a main hub and connection point to other public transport modes, such as trams, buses, taxis, cycle paths and footpaths.
