() is a member company of Italy's Ferrovie dello Stato () group. It was created to rehabilitate and manage, even commercially, the 13 biggest Italian railway stations.
Stations under management The Roma Termini railway station was the pilot of the Grandi Stazioni program.

In addition to these, the forthcoming Napoli Afragola and Firenze Belfiore stations, which will be part of Italian high-speed rail system, will also be included in this list.
Grandi Stazioni also operates beyond Italy's national borders: in December 2003, the company adopted a position in the Czech Republic for the upgrading and management of three major railway stations: Praha hlavní nádraží, Karlovy Vary upper station (horní nádraží) and Mariánské Lázně. In 2016 (after 13 years) Grandi Stazioni failed to deliver the contractual obligation to reconstruct the Praha hlavní nádraží and subsequently lost the lease. Grandi Stazioni decided to sue the Czech Railway Infrastructure Administration for damages without providing the paperwork proving the actual costs spent.
Shareholders Grandi Stazioni SpA is 60% controlled by Ferrovie dello Stato and 40% by Eurostazioni SpA.
