Cultural Note
Italy's high-speed rail network (Trenitalia's Frecciarossa and Italo) connects major cities at speeds up to 300 km/h. Rome to Milan takes under 3 hours by train. However, regional trains are famously unpunctual, giving rise to jokes about 'ritardo' (delays) being built into the Italian rail experience.
