ES Italia AV - what is this?
I am looking at trains from Rome to Naples and am finding the ES and the IC, which I am familiar with. But one train is listed as ES Italia AV (Eurostar Italia what?) and it is faster than the other two. Does anyone know anything about this? Thx!

<b>A</b>lta <b>V</b>elocita - high speed.

I think it only became operational in March or April of this year.

It is the same train as the &quot;normal&quot; ES, but a few month ago the high-spped line to naples was completed and some trains are routed over it. Those are called AV (Alta Velocita = High Speed)
