Pietrarsa, record numbers for a unique Railway Museum in Europe
2023 was a record year for the Italian National Railway Museum in Pietrarsa, Naples, with 265,000 people visiting the exhibition run by Fondazione FS Italiane.
The record turnout coincided with the tenth anniversary of Fondazione FS, the body founded on 6 March 2013 to restore, conserve and enhance the legacy of the Italian railways, Ferrovie Italiane.
The National Railway Museum in Pietrarsa, whose collection of historic locomotives and carriages is unique in Europe, is located on the first railway track line built in Italy.
