As an Italian lving in the northern part of the country:
The trains are used pretty extensively and they works.
The Trenitalia has fixed fares on the low speed lines (so no need to buy them weeks before) and are resonably priced.
I the south...EH.
Would use them only for an extensive trip (from a big city to another big city)
But by nature Italy HAS to use a lot of air travel as the country is very long and that's problematic.
(don't forget than Sicily has 5M people and the 2 main airports see 9M people transit a year)
- senkora 3y agoI just played around with https://thetruesize.com https://thetruesize.com overlaying Italy on the United States. In America-terms, it looks like most North Italy trips would be analogous to NYC <-> DC trips, which are often taken by train in the US. North Italy to South Italy would be like SF <-> San Diego and North Italy to Sicily would be like Chicago <-> Atlanta, and both of those would almost certainly be plane trips in the US. So makes sense to me!
