A complex weekend for those who have to travel by train: a 24-hour national strike by the staff of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group is planned.

Problems on the Florence-Rome line due to copper theft
This morning, rail traffic was slowed down along the conventional Florence-Rome line, between Compiobbi and Pontassieve (Florence), due to a copper theft.

Salvini: "We must not let our guard down."
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini also weighed in on the issue. “Damage on the Florence-Rome line during the night and problems in Lombardy due to coils on the tracks in the province of Pavia. Yet more incidents that make train circulation difficult,” he wrote in a post on X. However, Salvini highlighted an improvement: “After the complaint by FS for possible sabotage, punctuality has increased, especially for high-speed trains. Let’s not let our guard down.”
