Seat reservations

I will be in Italy taking the train. How do you know if you need seat reservations?
I will be going from Venice to Naples and Naples to Florence.
I will have a railpass.
Thanks

Find the train you want to take at

Click on "Dettagli" and if there's an R in a box in the right-hand column, you have to have a seat reservation.

You will probably need a reservation for most of the legs you will travel - all of the Eurostar Italia trains require them, and some InterCity trains too.

There is frequent service on your routes so there is no need to make reservations from home. It's much cheaper to do it in Europe. Just make them a day or two before you're ready to leave each city.

I don't know your whole plans, but if those are the only two trips you're taking, point-to-point tickets will be much cheaper than a railpass, plus you still have to pay a fee for the reservation with the pass.

SusanP.
I am also doing France on this trip so the railpass works out better.
Thanks
