“The revival of national tourism is one of the FS Italiane Group’s main priorities,” confirms Gianfranco Battisti, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of FS Italiane Group.

“For the first time ever, the Frecciarossa 1000 will unite Rome and Milan this summer through the Versilia, Argentario and Riviera di Levante in Liguria — territories with great tourist attractiveness that will be connected directly with Italian High Speed trains.

A new service for discovering and rediscovering Italy’s cultural and landscape beauties, distributing tourist flows not only to large cities but also in medium- to small-sized locations. In this way, we are contributing to a veritable revival of the economy and tourism sector throughout Italy.
