The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the passenger building is managed by comune. Train services are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
The station was opened along with the rest of the line from 18 May 1939, becoming however operation only since 20 July 1940[1] because of the need to complete several systems[2] and the absence of the rolling stock.[3]
