History[edit]
The category Eurostar, introduced in 1997, replaced the Pendolino trains and had always been for the route connecting Milan to Rome and its extensions. Since 2006 with the opening of the high speed lines the category gradually declined in several subcategories and the original gradually downsized.
In June 2012 the category Eurostar was divided into various subcategories indicating various high-speed services. The new categories created were Frecciarossa for the fastest trains, Frecciargento for the next category of trains and finally Frecciabianca. The final services connecting Rome with Ravenna and Reggio Calabria operated until December 2012.
Services[edit]
Various categories used until June 2012 were:
Eurostar Alta Velocità Frecciarossa (Turin-Milan-Florence-Rome-Naples), now only Frecciarossa
Eurostar Alta Velocità Frecciargento (Rome-Venice, Rome-Reggio Calabria, Rome-Lecce), now only Frecciargento
Eurostar City Italia Frecciabianca, now only Frecciabianca
Eurostar Italia Business, discontinued after opening high-speed line Milan-Rome
Eurostar Italia Alta Velocità Fast, now included in Frecciarossa and Frecciargento
Eurostar Italia Fast, now included in Frecciarossa and Frecciargento
The name Eurostar was used under license from Iveco, which owns the trademark and used the name for one of their trucks. Despite the identical name, there is no relation between this service and the Eurostar railway service that runs through the Channel Tunnel.
