Italy
Italian Railways, known as Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS), is the principal railway company in Italy, providing vital connections across the nation and beyond. Established in the 19th century, the railway network has evolved significantly, enabling efficient travel through its picturesque landscapes and rich historical sites.
The system is characterised by both high-speed and regional trains, catering to diverse traveller needs. High-speed services such as Frecciarossa offer rapid connections between major cities, while intercity and regional trains ensure accessibility to smaller towns and rural areas.
