Most of the trains on that route are non-stop between the two cities and take an hour-and-a-half. If you're trying to get elsewhere and do a stop-over, I don't think that's going to work with this route. You're better off getting point-to-point tickets. But like nytraveler asked, where are you trying to get to?

Most trains between Florence and Rome make no stops - only much slower IC and Regional trains do and these stop at places like Orvieto. To see where the slow trains stop go to www.bahn.de - the German Rail site as at least to me it is infinitely easier to use than the frustrating www.trenitalia.com - a good way to access the English schedule page of the Wunderbar bahn.de site is to go to the home page of www.budgeteuropetravel.com and there click on the link "All European Railway Schedules" (or some such wording) and up pops the English-language schedule page -i reference this home page link because it also gives you several tips on fully using the bahn.de site that would not be apparent to novice users- features like showing intermediate stops like you want. Tip -uncheck the box saying "Show only fastest connections" or you may only get the ES (Eurostar Italia) type high-speed trains that do not go thru any cities and do not stop at any stations en route - the slower trains take the older route and much slower route that goes thru cities and stops at places like Arezzo, Chiusi and Orvieto and others.

I have taken the slow regional train from Rome to Florence - it took about3.5 hours, running ritardo. But i loved it - I am a rail nut and love stopping at sleepy stations and going thru towns like Orvieto, where you can see this hilltown in all its glory from a distance as the train approaches.
I went first class and had a whole compartment to myself - old train cars with compartments rather than the open-car seating on newer faster trains.
If buying a ticket you'd only pay about 8-10 euros i believe, saveing perhaps $25-30 over the full fare faster trains.
These trains are what all Italian trains were like when i first took them in 1969 - taking forever to get anywhere and stopping for long intervals at stations.
