Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane is the largest company in Italy. Every day about 72,000 railway operators contribute to running more than 8,000 trains and managing a network of 16,700 kilometres, transporting about 600 million passengers and 50 million tons of freight every year. They create and manage railway transport works and services for customers while contributing to the development of a great project of mobility and logistics for Italy.
Technological innovation and safety are what make them stand out, two qualities recognised at international level. They are always at the forefront in the process of modernising Italy, through a path of development that respects the environment and the territory. They have undertaken an impressive intervention programme designed to considerably increase the infrastructure of the country and provide ever better and more diversified services thanks to an offer that includes more comfortable and technologically advanced trains as well as modern stations that are increasingly integrated with the urban fabric. They do not intend to stop at the Italian borders. The Mediterranean, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Latin America, the US, India and Australia are the main areas where we work, exporting Italian excellence to develop railway networks in those countries. The main services offered on the international market concern engineering, the management of passenger transportation and logistics, infrastructure and stations.
The FS Italiane group provides comprehensive railway transport works and services, while contributing to the development of a significant mobility and logistics project for Italy, always with great respect for the environment and the territory.
The new high-speed service is of great pride to the company, a true revolution that has significantly changed the personal and work habits of Italians, shortening distances and providing a strong stimulus to the nation’s growth. Frecciarossa1000, the all-Italian supertrains racing across Italian high-speed networks in 2015 (and compatible with travel on other European networks), can reach a maximum speed of 400 km/h and a speed of 350 km/h on the national network, soon connecting Rome and Milan in a mere 2.5 hours (2 hours and 15 minutes between the Tiburtina and Rogoredo stations).
