The Frecciarossa (FR AV) high speed trains are the fastest trains in Italy. Currently operating at speeds up to 300 km/h the newest trains are capable of operating at up to 360 km/h which could happen in the near future. The trains are primarily running on the main north-south axis from Milan and Venice via Bolgona and Florence to Rome, with additional services running to Turin, Naples, Bari, as well as on the new west-east line from Milan to Venice.
Two different types of trainsets provide Frecciarossa services, called ETR 500 and ETR 1000. All trains are equipped with air-condition, WiFi and power sockets at each seat.
