Santa Maria Novella
Opened to the public on February 3, 1848, scenic Santa Maria Novella in Florence, (also known as "Firenze SMN"), is a beautiful example of the 1930's modernism as well as one of the busiest railway stations in Italy, annually welcoming over 59 million people. Interestingly, at first, its name was "Maria Antonia", honoring Princess Maria Antonia of the Two Sicilies but after the unification of Italy, the station was renamed after the gorgeous Santa Maria Church, located right across the railway station.
