Nota cultural

Trenitalia's fare system has five levels: Super Economy (non-changeable, non-refundable), Economy (non-changeable), Base (changeable once before departure), Business (fully flexible), and Executive. Italo (NTV) has a similar system. Always check the terms before booking — the cheapest fares offer no flexibility.
