At the moment, in fact, it is only possible to book a convoy on Saturday 8 August for Naples. Better, if not much, the situation for Rome, so there is a train that can also be booked on Sunday. 

"The Italian transport system is by far the most protected in the world". This was stated by the Minister of Transport Paola De Micheli, speaking at Rai three on the decision to maintain partial filling on trains.

The minister spoke of the "very invented" background and explained that when the lines envisaged by the July dpcm came out, the epidemiological picture had changed "with some more contagion and therefore an in-depth study on the filtering system of the trains was decided which for as regards aircraft, it had already been certified at European level ".

"This - he explained - is the reason why you can travel by plane in a different way".

The MIT "did not provide for filling up to 100%" of long-distance trains. So the minister to 'Agora'. "We continued with this gradual assessment of increasing capacity," he explained.
