Italy trains are generally cheap to ride. Trains on the top routes, especially regional trains, can be very crowded. Since trains are subsidized for underpaid workers, fewer trains run on Sundays as its mentioned in Italy train map. On the other hand, the train gets you right into most city centers. Some exceptions are hill towns where trains can not make the steep grades up the hill, as in Perugia or Siena. There will be connecting buses from the train stations in such cases. The eight hour Rome to Venice regional train is eclipsed by the 4 hour Frecce train.
