The Fidenza–Fornovo railway is an Italian railway line connecting Fidenza and Fornovo di Taro in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. It is managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana.
A concession was granted to build the line to the Consorzio intercomunale della ferrovia Cremona-Borgo San Donnino (inter-municipal consortium of the Cremona-Borgo San Donnino railway) in 1906.[1] In 1907, the consortium subcontracted the construction and operation of the railway to the Società Italiana Ferrovie e Tramvie (Italian Railways and Tramways Society, SIFT), which already managed the line between Cremona and Borgo San Donnino.[2] The completed line was handed over to the state in 1912[3] and operations started on 25 November 1913.[4] Currently the line is used by only three pairs of regional trains (four on weekends) that connect Milan and Bergamo with the Tyrrhenian coast via . Local services have not operated since the start of the winter timetable of 2013. Medesano is the only intermediate station still served and it has a very limited passenger service[5] (only one train a day to Livorno and a service to Milan on Friday only).
