Overview
- At about 9:30 a.m. Monday, a person was struck on the tracks between Lonato and Desenzano del Garda on the Milan–Venice line, and traffic on that segment was suspended.
- Trenitalia said high‑speed trains can be routed via Poggio Rusco, while RFI is reprogramming the timetable and Intercity and high‑speed services face heavy delays.
- Passengers were told to expect delays of more than two hours, in some cases close to three, with replacement buses and alternative routings activated.
- On Sunday around 11:10 a.m. in Florence, a high‑speed train hit a person exiting platform 3 at Santa Maria Novella; prosecutors granted a nulla osta to resume traffic but kept some tracks closed for forensic work.
- Authorities said inquiries were underway in both locations and the people struck had not yet been identified, with circumstances still unclear.
