The Porrettana railway was inaugurated on 2 November 1864: from 1864 to 1934, the year of the opening of the Direttissima, the Porrettana represented the backbone of the north-south communications of Italy and Europe and is today an indispensable infrastructure for the life of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine communities.
