Eurostar Italia
Eurostar Italia is a network of Italian high-speed inter-city trains, operated by Trenitalia (a major Italian railway company).
The name Eurostar is used under license from Iveco, which owns the trademark and used the name for one of their trucks. Despite the identical name, there is no relation between this service and the Eurostar railway service that runs through the Channel Tunnel.
Eurostar service is divided into three sub-services: Eurostar Alta Velocità Frecciarossa (Turin-Milan-Florence-Rome-Naples), Eurostar Italia Alta Velocità Frecciargento (Rome-Venice, Rome-Reggio Calabria, Rome-Lecce) and classic Eurostar Italia (Rome-Ravenna, Rome-Reggio Calabria).
In the past there were also: Eurostar City Italia Frecciabianca (now only Frecciabianca), Eurostar Italia Business (deleted after opening high-speed line Milan-Rome), Eurostar Italia Alta Velocità Fast (now included in Eurostar Italia Alta Velocità) and Eurostar Italia Fast (now included in Eurostar Italia).
