Rome, 4 September 2026
Elettra Lamborghini ’s golden year is not over yet! After racking up a string of successes - by participating at the Sanremo Music Festival and Canzonissima, followed by her role as a commentator at the Eurovision Song Contest - the showgirl joins the judging panel of Tale e quale show, starting 23 September on Rai1. In this new feat, she will get in the game, without losing her unmistakable charm.
2026 has and will continue to be a challenging year for FS Italiane Group as well. This summer, over 33 million people chose Trenitalia for their journeys, on a rail network undergoing a massive transformation, with around 1,300 active construction sites. The company addressed such a complex scenario with the Summer Plan, enhanced station support, and more comprehensive information.
And yet, the journey is far from over. If you want to make the most of the last few weeks of summer holidays, read on to find a few unique itineraries in La Freccia. Reach the heart of Val d’Orcia by setting off from Siena on a historic train operated by Fondazione FS Italiane. Then, head to Alessandria to discover its medieval history, Napoleonic memories and local flavours. Finally, land in Naples for a tour of Un posto al sole locations, with Patrizio Rispo - who has been in the cast since the very first episode! - as your special guide.
Don’t miss the interviews with leading personalities in entertainment and culture. Famous actor Stefano Fresi, whose new film by Giorgio Pasotti opens in theatres on 8 October. The up-and-coming Giuseppe De Domenico, currently at the Toronto International Film Festival with Idda, and soon on TV as anti-Mafia judge Rosario Livatino. And then Csaba dalla Zorza and her return to fiction with Io sono Adele.
And on an end note, the cultural events. An exhibition in Venice celebrates Marina Abramović’s 80th birthday. In Milan, winners of the 2026 Sony World Photography Awards are on display until 4 October. Meanwhile, in Turin, over 400 memorabilia pieces offer a glimpse into director Orson Welles’s world.
All this and more in September’s La Freccia, available in digital format on FS Italiane and in take-away print magazine on Trenitalia Frecce trains, in the FRECCIALounge and in FRECCIAClubs.
