The station , originally named simply as '' '' ' Messina '' ' '' , was inaugurated on 12 December 1866 , as the terminal of the railway to Taormina , the first section of the Messina-Catania-Siracusa line . Heavily damaged after the 1908 earthquake , it was repaired a few years later . In 1939 it was finally renewed and replaced by the modern '' Messina Centrale '' , with the station building projected by the architect Angiolo Mazzoni
