To commemorate the forthcoming visit of Adolf Hitler to Rome in 1938 , the current Ostiense station was built , replacing an existing rural railway station , with the aim of creating a monumental station to receive the German dictator . A new road was also built to connect the station with Porta San Paolo - this was initially named Via A. Hitler but , after World War II , it became Viale delle Cave Ardeatine , as a way of commemorating the victims of Nazi occupation
