Fans of train travel show know that travel to Italy just got even better (as if you can improve on a country with gelato). Italy has introduced a new class of train service, the Freccia Rossa (Red arrow).
Former Amateur Traveler guest Ira Bernstein (Travel to Turin and Bologna (or eating our way through Italy) – Episode 208 and Travel to Venice and the Veneto – Episode 182) reports:
"Its speed allowed us to take a day trip from Bologna to Milan and back down to Florence (we had lunch with friends in Milan). To give you some idea, consider the 296 miles (476 km) from Milan to Rome. Taking an Intercity train cost 63 euro (second class), but it takes between 6:30 and 7:56. In contrast, the Freccia Rossa costs 89 euro but only takes 2:59 to 3:30. Evidently, the Freccia Rossa replaces the Eurostar".
For more information on tickets for the Freccia Rossa visit Rail Europe.

Finally a decent train service in Italy and much more comfortable than daring to fly with Alitalia.
