This summer, train travel in Italy is facing significant disruptions due to extensive infrastructure work on major routes.

From August 12 to 18, travelers on the high-speed Milan-Bologna line can expect delays of up to two hours.

Other affected routes include Milan-Venice and the Florence-Rome direct line, with delays reaching 150 minutes.

Despite earlier promises of a smooth travel experience, many passengers are now discovering that their high-speed trains are operating at much slower speeds.

Trenitalia has assured customers that these disruptions are necessary for future improvements, but many travelers are frustrated by the lack of timely information and the impact on their vacation plans.

For those affected, Trenitalia offers options to reschedule or receive full refunds for their tickets.
