History

Established in the late 19th century, the station has long connected Frosinone with Rome, Naples and the broader Lazio region. It was once part of the Rome–Fiuggi narrow-gauge railway and played a role in regional development and post-war reconstruction.

Traffic congestion has been a concern because of the station’s central location. Recent urban studies recommend sustainable mobility improvements, and future redevelopment projects aim to enhance accessibility and reduce environmental impact (Feasibility Study on Frosinone Railway Station).
