Monza railway station (Italian : Stazione di Monza) is the main station serving the city and comune of Monza, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy.

Contents

Opened in 1840 under the Habsburg monarchy, the station forms part of the Milan–Chiasso railway, and is a junction station for two secondary lines, the Lecco–Milan railway and the Monza–Molteno–Lecco railway. It is also the main railway junction of the Brianza geographical area, which encompasses the province of Monza and Brianza, Province of Lecco, Province of Como and part of the Province of Milan.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Both companies are subsidiaries of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.

Train services are operated by the Lombard railway company Trenord.

Location

Monza railway station is located on Via Enrico Arosio, at the southern edge of the city centre.

History

The station was officially opened on 17 August 1840, as the terminus of the Milan–Monza railway, which was the first railway built in Lombardy and the second in Italy, after the Naples–Portici railway. Operations commenced the following day, 18 August 1840. [2] In July 1849, that line was extended to Camnago-Lentate, on its way to becoming the Milan–Chiasso railway. [2]

On 27 December 1873, Monza became a junction station, upon the opening of the final section of the Lecco–Milan railway, between Carnate-Usmate and Monza. [2]

The original passenger building was replaced with the present one in 1884, when the station was moved to a new location. In 1901, the original passenger building was demolished to facilitate the construction of the Via Turati bridge. [3]

On 19 October 1911, Monza also became the terminus of another secondary line, the Monza–Molteno–Lecco railway. [2]
