Italy Summer Train Schedule?
Does anyone know what is going on with the summer train schedules for Italy. We want to take the train from Rome to Venice on June 15 and the latest schedules are for June 8. everything says the schedules come out 90-120 days in advance and we are down to 75 days now?

No one says that and it's not at all accurate. Schedules are loaded twice a year. Summer schedules run from the 2nd weekend in June until the 2nd weekend in December. Winter schedules Dec.-June.
Trenitalia loads them when they load them. Often as late as the week before they are supposed to start. No predicting, but they have gotten a bit better the last few years.
I think you have confused the timeline for Trenitalia online purchasing with schedule loading which are two entirely different things. You can purchase the fast trains on Trenitalia 120 days in advance (if schedules are loaded). Other countries seem to use a 90 day time frame as do some cross-border trains.
All you can do is check Trenitalia every day until you see them appear. It may be June.

What's happening??
Sigh... The usual, the thing that happens EVERY year, at EVERY twice-yearly timetable change across Europe, always on the 2nd Sunday in June and 2nd Sunday in December.
90 or 120 days? Not across a timetable change!! They're ALWAYS late loading the new data, you can reckon on 60 days, typically, for any dates immediately after the change.
And we'll go through these same questions when people can't book for Christmas until November, too.

We are actually looking to take the high speed train from Termini to St. Lucia, so those are the schedules I keep checking for. (And obviously, will keep checking for until they appear.)
