I 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!
