The Rome–Ancona railway is a rail line in central Italy connecting the city of Ancona with Orte, and therefore with the capital city, Rome.
The line crosses the Apennine Mountains from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea, passing through Foligno, Spoleto, and Terni.
Plans for a railway line between Rome and the Adriatic coast began in 1846 in the Papal state, after the death of Pope Gregory XVI, who strongly opposed rail.
The construction of the new railway was authorized on 7 November 1846 by the new Pope Pius IX, to link Rome with the main port on the Adriatic sea, Ancona.
The aim was also to reach Bologna and Modena, and thus to connect the Papal state to Lombardy and Veneto railway network.
