14 March 2020 - The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, together with the Ministry of Health, has partially amended the Decree of 13 March 2020 to guarantee minimum service levels for Intercity trains.

Rome, 10 March 2020
Trenitalia (FS Italiane Group) has started to use a new criterion for booking seats on board the Frecce.
The new booking function, designed and implemented by FSTechnology (a Group company) guarantees compliance with the safety distances prescribed by the provisions on the prevention and spread of the COVID-19 virus, while maintaining the comfort offered to travellers.
The new booking criterion is in addition to the actions already taken by the FS Italiane Group to protect travellers and employees:
Furthermore, Trenitalia has updated its commercial offer with all the changes on its sales channels. Information on train traffic is available on the Trenitalia App and the trenitalia.com website.
Amongst the many initiatives adopted in recent days by the FS Italiane Group companies—in this case, by Trenitalia—to handle the Coronavirus emergency, there is also the invitation for people to buy their ticket via digital channels. This advice aims to prevent possible crowding at the ticket offices, thus reducing waiting times at the station and streamlining business transactions.
Purchases can be made both on the trenitalia.com website, through the two parallel channels of computers and mobile devices (smartphone, iPhone and tablet), and through the App.
An alternative to digital purchases, for those who have already reached the station, consists in the 2,300-plus self-service machines present throughout the network served by Frecce and Intercity trains, in addition to the even more extensive and capillary stations reached by regional trains.
The period for requesting reimbursements for Trenitalia tickets (FS Italiane Group) has been extended.
Passengers can also obtain a full refund for travel renunciations for tickets purchased after 23 February 2020, regardless of the fare, by submitting a request within the deadlines indicated under the pertinent national provisions and justifying the non-travel with the following reasons:
For medium- and long-distance trains, full refunds shall be provided in the form of a credit that can be used within one year. Requests can be made by filling out the specific web form available on trenitalia.com or from any ticket office.
For regional trains, full refunds are provided in cash. Request can be made by filling out the specific form available online or from the ticket offices.
These measures are in addition to those already adopted by Trenitalia, autonomously and due to social mindfulness, in guaranteeing its clientele complete reimbursement, upon requests submitted by 1 March 2020, for any type of ticket—even those usually non-refundable—with any date of travel and having any destination.
The vademecum issued by the Ministry of Health and distributed by Trenitalia can also be viewed on regional train monitors, Frecce and in the self-service areas.
