"This should be a source of pride for the entire nation, and I truly hope that this museum will be visited even more often. We must work to utilize the sea so that tourists from Ischia, Capri, Positano, and Sorrento have means of transportation by sea that can take them to this museum. It's worth it, because it demonstrates all our ingenuity, our uniquely Italian ability."
This was stated by Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanché at the Pietrarsa Museum in Naples, where the FS Italiane Foundation is celebrating its 10th anniversary. For the event, a trip aboard a historic Harlequin train has been organized from Rome Ostiense station to the Pietrarsa Museum, which will host an event attended by, among others, the top management of the FS Group, the FS Foundation, and institutions.
"I must say that then in this museum, where these wonderful 'ladies' who are here polished and splendid give us that pride of belonging of being Italian.

"The train is the emblem of the power of technology and progress. The train is a continuous evolution of technology to move ever faster. The train coincides with the future. These trains have begun to move the world forward."
Vittorio Sgarbi, Undersecretary of Culture, said this after traveling aboard the historic Arlecchino train, which left this morning from Rome Ostiense station.
"This - Sgarbi explained - It's an important ceremony, an occasion that celebrates a great Italian museum of the future. The past you see in these locomotives is the future that takes us elsewhere."
