Frecciarossa trains operate at speeds of up to 300 km/h (190 mph).

[2] Frecciarossa is the premier service of Trenitalia and competes with italo, operated by Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori.

Trenitalia also operates the sister brands Frecciargento and Frecciabianca for slower services.

Frecciarossa trains travel on dedicated high-speed railway lines and, on some routes, also on conventional railway lines with lower speed limits.

Current limitations on the tracks set the maximum operating speed of both types of trains to 300 km/h (190 mph).
