IPSE DIXIT NAPLES-AFRAGOLA HS RAILWAY STATION NAPLES AFRAGOLA HS STATION: “A THREAT TO THE TERRITORY” A “bridge” connecting communities from one side of the station to the other. The one at Naples Afragola HS Station is more than just a rail terminal. Designed by Anglo-Iraqi archistar Zaha Hadid, the terminal has been a key hub for the national highspeed line since 2017. During the construction phase, significant criticism was directed at the lack of supporting infrastructure around the hub. Today, seven years after its inauguration, work has begun to connect Naples Afragola to the Vesuvius rail lines (Source: Tgr Campania). The station also serves as a key hub for the Naples-Bari highspeed line, bypassing the center of Campania’s capital and thus alleviating pressure on Naples’ central station. «This project risks becoming a ‘cathedral in the desert. Without the necessary infrastructure, we risk complete collapse.» Massimo Pelliccia, mayor of Casalnuovo di Napoli.
