Porta Metronia (Rome Metro)

Porta Metronia, previously known with the name Amba Aradam-Ipponio, is an underground station under construction of Line C of the Rome Metro.

The station is expected to become operational with the inauguration of the extension of Line C from San Giovanni to Fori Imperiali-Colosseo in 2024.

[1] During excavation of the station in 2016, a Roman barracks dating back to the 2nd century AD was unearthed 9 metres (30 ft) below street level.

[2] In the summer of 2020, in the wake of the protests triggered by the Black Lives Matter movement, Mayor Virginia Raggi proposed a record in the Capitoline Assembly, which was later approved, to name the station after the Italian-Somali partisan Giorgio Marincola.

[5] On September 14, 2022, it was announced that the new name of the station would be "Porta Metronia", from the nearby namesake gate in the Aurelian Walls.
