A large delegation of 500 Trenitalia workers will take part on tomorrow’s general audience with Pope Benedict XVI. Led by the chairman of Trenitalia, Gianfranco Legitimo, and director general, Massimo Ghenzer, the group of workers will pay the Holy Father a historic homage during the course of the meeting.

The railwaymen delegation will be conformed of engineers, assistants, managers and coordinators, who after the death of John Paul II guaranteed the movement of more than 800 thousand pilgrims from Italy and abroad, with 1000 extra trains, and who a few days later brought thousands of the faithful to Rome for the election of Benedict XVI.
