LINE A
The line A of the Rome metro , characterized by orange , was the second line to be built in the capital. The first section of the line, from Ottaviano to Cinecittà, was inaugurated on 16 February 1980 by the then mayor of Rome Luigi Petroselli, today the route extends from Battistini to Anagnina.
Today, line A has 27 stations (there are plans for extensions beyond the Battistini terminus) for a length of 18.425 km. Meet line B in Termini station and intersect, when operational, with line C in the stations of Ottaviano and San Giovanni.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF LINE A:
The construction works for the extension of the line were long and complex, mainly due to the technique of open excavation , which caused many problems to the viability of Rome. Precisely for this reason the works stopped for 5 years, before starting again with the technique, used today, of moles , which if on one hand solved the problem of traffic and traffic, on the other hand brought problems to the buildings placed above the route of the line.
Fermi for another two years, due to the crossing of the Tiber river, other problems resulted with an error in the route, due to the construction of the Nenni bridge for crossing the river, and for archaeological finds near Piazza della Repubblica.
