Overview

• RFI has activated more than 1,200 simultaneous PNRR and maintenance sites on Italy’s rail network, a record level of summer works.
• FS’s updated August 11–17 schedule extends Milan–Rome high-speed journeys to as long as 4 hours 50 minutes, reflecting a 100-minute increase.
• Key corridors will see slower services elsewhere, including 60-minute delays on Milan–Bologna, 40-minute on Florence–Rome and 90-minute on Verona–Vicenza.
• Ticket prices remain unchanged and FS will list revised travel times directly on passenger invoices to ensure transparency.
• Consumer association Assoutenti is urging government and FS officials to deploy a dedicated national fund to compensate travelers for the prolonged delays.
