Reggio nell'Emilia

Description
Reggio Emilia has hosted, since June 2013, the new AV Mediopadana Railway Station, the only stop between Milan and Bologna on the High Speed line of the railway network.
It is a roof structure, entirely made of white-painted steel and glass, with a total length of 483 metres.
The width of the structure is variable, up to a maximum of about 50 metres, its height is also variable and reaches an average of 20 metres.
It is a covering made up of a repeated succession of 13 closed-section portals, geometrically different, for a total of 457 portals, so as to outline the sinusoidal trend that characterizes the infrastructure.
The station is spread over two levels: in the lower one, accessible from the outside, are the station's own services, and in the upper one are the platforms.
The two levels are connected each other through four escalators on each side and two panoramic lifts.
The project is as signature of three bridges built in 2007 as part of the urban redevelopment of the northern area of the town.
