Piscinola-Scampia (formerly Piscinola) is a station on Line 1 of the Naples Metro and together with Garibaldi is one of the two termini.[1]
The station, inaugurated on 19 July 1995 together with the extension from the Colli Aminei station,[2] consists of two levels: in the upper one stands the terminal station of line 1, while in the lower one is the terminal station of the Linea Arcobaleno ( of the Naples-Aversa line) which between 2005 and 2009 partially restored the lower Alifana closed in 1976.[3]
