Gruppo FS and Fondazione IncontraDonna launched the sixteenth edition of FrecciaRosa, a health awareness and prevention initiative supported by the Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica (AIOM). The campaign utilizes Trenitalia’s Frecce, Intercity, and Regional trains to spread awareness, while also expanding to land-based locations such as the RFI station in Cosenza, the FS Logistix hub in Genoa, and San Lorenzo in Rome. As part of the launch, 40 RFI stations were illuminated in pink to highlight the importance of early disease detection.

The campaign expanded its reach into Calabria, with a dedicated prevention event scheduled at the Cosenza railway station. In collaboration with the ASP of Cosenza, the initiative provides free medical services, including colorectal cancer screening kits and mammograms for residents aged 50 to 74, as well as breast cancer consultations for women aged 45 to 49. Additional services include HPV and influenza vaccinations, cardiometabolic assessments, and general health information distribution.

During the 2026 Pink October campaign, the FrecciaRosa initiative in Cosenza expanded its presence by launching a mobile prevention truck at the local railway station. This mobile unit continues to offer free colon cancer screening kits, mammographies for women aged 50–74, and breast cancer consultations for women aged 45–49. Furthermore, the service has extended HPV vaccinations to individuals aged 11–26, alongside influenza vaccinations for Calabria residents.
