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

Classic (7)
- 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 ↗ - 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–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.

Scenic (4)
- Messina–Siracusa

- Ionian Coast Line
Regional trains run the Ionian shore below Mount Etna, calling at Taormina-Giardini before the Baroque port of Siracusa.

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.
