Worth knowing
Unlike Florence–Rome, this route isn't fully on Italy's dedicated Alta Velocità track for its whole length — part of it runs on upgraded conventional line through the Apennines and the Po Valley, which is one of the reasons journey time can vary a bit more between different train categories than on the fully high-speed corridors.
