The station was included in a nationwide program of upgrades to the main Italian stations, by Grandi Stazioni, a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato.
In the first stage of renovations completed on February 4, 2009, 44,146 square metres of the 92,747 square meter area of the station buildings was redeveloped.
The areas allocated to services for passengers, dining, shopping, culture and leisure was increased considerably.
In January 2013, restoration work continued on the facade and interior, preserving historical elements from the 19th century, including its distinctive, red colour, that hadn't been seen in generations.
After nearly 4 years of work, scaffolding came down and the building was unveiled to the public, featuring a new, coloured LED lighting scheme.
In December 2016, Unieuro, a large-scale electronics and domestic appliances retailer, opened a 1,400m² location within the station.
Work continues in 2017 on upgrades to the track area, including the addition of more fully accessible platforms.
