Ex stazione di Verona Parona

The Ex stazione di Verona Parona is a disused railway station in the Parona district of Verona, in northern Italy's Veneto region. It served as a stop on the Brenner railway, which links Italy with Austria and Germany over the Brenner Pass. That route counts among the key north-south connections in Europe, carrying passenger and freight traffic alike. For the people of Parona, it offered a convenient way to other parts of Verona and to towns beyond.

The station officially closed on 19 November 2012, ending its role in passenger service. It was one of many smaller European stations to shut down or find new roles as services concentrate on larger hubs. Travellers from the district now head to other stations instead. Domegliara-Sant'Ambrogio lies further north along the line, and Verona Porta Nuova serves as the main hub for trains from every direction.

The area has changed since the closure, but you can still make out traces of its railway past in the local landscape. The Brenner trains, meanwhile, roll through Parona without stopping, past a station that once served them.
