Website for Italian train schedules?

I'm planning to travel by train on part of my May trip to Italy and wondered if there was a website with schedules from Rome to Florence, Florence to Venice, and Venice to Rome? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Actually, the web site is now www.trenitalia.com (or .it).<BR><BR>You will find that trains leave from Rome to Florence about twice hourly. Florence to Venice and Venice to Rome is a little more complicated but certainly doable. Have fun.<BR>

Not entirely sure what is meant by "more complicated" for Venice-Rome, unless it means simply that there are multiple options, including places to stop along the way.<BR><BR>But the Eurostar option is certainly fast enough, and you can have a nice fancy lunch or dinner - - a bit expensive, (perhaps) available (only?) if you are traveling first class - - when you choose a train leaving at the pertinent hour of the day. There's a stop in Florence (when traveling from Venice to Rome), no matter how you go about it, I think.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

When travelling in Italy between the major cities such as those mentioned I always prefer to use the Swiss web site - www.sbb.ch which is in the 3 national languages plus English- It is much clearer I think. For more obscure routes then you have to use the Italian one.<BR>Does anyone else use the Swiss one for travel in Italy?

Actually, the web site is either www.fs-on-line.com or www.trenitalia.com, both take you to the same place.
