Wikipedia ↗ - Frecciarossa Adriatica
Frecciarossas run the whole Adriatic seaboard: high-speed to Bologna, then the classic 1872 Adriatica within sight of the sea past Rimini, Ancona and Pescara to Bari.

Wikipedia ↗ - Frecciargento
A tilting ETR 485 runs Rome to the heel of Italy’s boot via Foggia, Bari and Brindisi, reaching baroque Lecce in the Salento.

A tilting ETR 600 Frecciarossa crosses the Po plain and Veneto from Milan to Trieste on the Adriatic, a run it took over in June 2023.

300 km/h out of Milan, then Verona, Vicenza and Padua: finishing with the causeway glide across the lagoon to Santa Lucia’s doorstep on the Grand Canal.

Italy’s first true alta velocità line. Vesuvius on the horizon barely an hour after leaving Rome.
Wikipedia ↗ - Frecciarossa

Classic (24)
- Intercity Tirreno
The Tyrrhenian artery the high-speed network bypasses: Maremma’s coast, Pisa, the marble Apuans and the whole Riviera di Levante into Genoa.
Wikipedia ↗ - Ionian Railway
Six hours down the instep and toe of Italy, from Taranto by Metaponto, Sibari and Crotone to the Strait of Messina; the sections were joined into one railway in 1875.
Wikipedia ↗ - Intercity Riviera
Down the Po plain to Genoa, then the full Italian Riviera westward: tunnel after tunnel between the mountains and the sea to San Remo and the French border at Ventimiglia.
- Cagliari–Sassari
The Sardinian main line: three hours up the island’s spine through Oristano and the Campidano plain — the mainline Sardinia most visitors never know exists.
Wikipedia (IT) ↗ - Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway
Rome to the Adriatic the hard way, over the Apennines by Tivoli, the drained Fucino basin at Avezzano and Sulmona, where the Transiberiana d’Italia branches into the Abruzzo highlands.
Wikipedia ↗ - Milan–Bologna classic line
The old road through Emilia by Lodi, Piacenza, Parma, Reggio and Modena, single track when it opened in 1861 and doubled by 1894; the Frecce take the high speed line beside it.
Wikipedia ↗ - Rome–Ancona railway
Crosses the Apennines sea to sea, from the Adriatic at Ancona through Foligno, Spoleto and Terni to Orte on the Rome main line.
Wikipedia ↗ - Palermo–Trapani railway
The long way round the west of Sicily, by Castelvetrano, Mazara and Marsala: the through line was finished on 5 June 1881, and since the short route by Milo closed in 2013 it is the only one.
Wikipedia ↗ - Turin–Genoa railway
Five years of tunnelling under the Apennines opened this line in December 1853, and the 3.3 km Giovi tunnel at its summit was then the longest in the world.
Wikipedia ↗ - Domodossola–Milan railway
The Simplon’s Italian approach, down the Toce and along the western shore of Lake Maggiore by Stresa and Arona; the rails reached Domodossola in 1888.
Wikipedia ↗ - Verona–Bologna railway
Thirty seven years to cross the Po plain: begun at Bologna in 1887, over the river at Ostiglia in 1911 and finished into Verona on 1 February 1924. Fifty two minutes now.

Wikipedia (IT) ↗ - Catania–Caltagirone railway
Valsavoia to Scordia opened in November 1889 and the whole climb to Caltagirone on 31 October 1892; the 1979 extension to Gela has been shut since a viaduct collapsed, reopening promised for 2026.
Wikipedia ↗ - Mantova–Monselice Line
Straight across the Po plain from Lombardy into the Veneto, Mantova to Monselice by Nogara, Legnago and Montagnana, on a secondary line whose first stretch opened with a special train on 16 May 1885.
- Udine–Trieste railway
Friuli to the Adriatic through Gorizia and out along the Carso above Miramare; the last two sections opened three days apart in October 1860.
Wikipedia ↗ - Prato–Bologna Direttissima
The 1934 Direttissima under the Apennines: an 18.5 km base tunnel, then the second longest in the world, and 180 km/h where the old line over the pass managed 75.

Wikipedia (IT) ↗ - Fossano–San Giuseppe di Cairo railway
The 1874 road to Savona ran the long way round through Bra; this double track shortcut by way of Mondovì and Ceva replaced it in 1933.
Wikipedia ↗ - Biella–Novara railway
Mussolini opened it on 18 May 1939 and no train ran for fourteen months, because the rolling stock was not ready; promised electric in 1925, it never was, and the state took it over in 1961.
Wikipedia ↗ - Chivasso–Casale Monferrato railway

What is the fastest Trenitalia train?
The Frecciarossa Milan–Reggio Calabria, Milan to Reggio Calabria, at up to 300 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 9 h over 1,213 km.
Does Trenitalia run night trains?
Yes — 1 sleeper service in this atlas: Intercity Notte Rome–Palermo (Rome – Palermo).
When was Trenitalia founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 2000, and files it as a railway undertaking. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1844 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
