Line 10 (Naples Metro)
rapid transit railway line to form part of the Metropolitana di Napoli
Line 10 (Italian: Linea 10; Italian pronunciation: [ˈliːneːa ˈdjɛtʃi], locally [ˈliːnɛːa ˈdjetʃi]) is a Naples Metro line being built designed to connect the Naples Afragola station of the Rome-Naples high-speed railway with the historic Centre of Naples, with interchanges with Line 1, Line 2, Line 11 and the Circumvesuviana railway. The line itself is designed to be automatically guided (driverless) and connect the municipalities of Afragola, Casavatore, Casoria and Naples, as well as a branch called "Baffo di Arzano" to connect the municipality of Arzano with two stations.
History
In 1985 the municipality of Casoria stipulated an agreement with the Naples Metro spa for the design of a metropolitan line capable of reaching Naples through the interchange with the planned Secondigliano station of Line 1.
The first feasibility study, in 1991, envisaged a route in 12 stations: Piscinola-Secondigliano, Parco del Sole, Monte Rosa, Arzano, Casavatore, Principe di Napoli (Casoria), Vittorio Emanuele, Casoria railway station, S. Antonio (Afragola), Afragola Town Hall, Afragola Salicelle, Porta Station.
Following the start of work for the Naples Afragola station on the high-speed line, the project was completely revised to locate the terminus in the station under construction.
The Municipality of Naples redesigned the route by inserting it into the "100 Stations Plan" adopted by the Municipality of Naples under the Jervolino council in 2003, with the name "Line 10". However, the consequences of the economic recession - which led during the regional council of Stefano Caldoro to the blocking of a good part of the infrastructure works in progress and planned - put the project in quiescence until 2016, when the regional council of Vincenzo De Luca relaunched the project financing the creation of a new feasibility study through ACAMIR (Agenzia Campana Mobilità, Infrastrutture e Reti), presented and adopted by the Campania region in July 2020.
The new project is spread over 13 kilometers with 13 stations: Cavour, Foria, Carlo III, Ottocalli, Leonardo Bianchi, Di Vittorio (falling within the municipality of Naples), Casavatore San Pietro, Casoria Casavatore, Casoria Centro, Casoria Afragola, Afragola Garibaldi, Afragola Centro and Afragola AV metro which will connect Naples to the Afragola AV station.
The investment is quantified at approximately 1.6 billion euros. Added to this is the project for a link road towards Arzano, approximately 3.15 km long, which departs from the route from the Di Vittorio station with two further stations (Casavatore Arzano and Arzano Centro), with an estimated cost of 459.5 million euros.

Why this record matters
The phrase “rapid transit railway line to form part of the Metropolitana di Napoli” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3832652. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985, 1991, 2003 and 2016.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
