A parapet with an embracing curve protects and adds character to the long “People Mover” connecting the main railway station in Bologna (Italy) and the Marconi airport. Expanded metal mesh has been used both to protect the Marconi Express monorail line and for the shelters at the terminals and intermediate stations. Designed by the architect Massimo Iosa Ghini, this project used a total of 35,000 square metres of expanded metal mesh.
