The Frecciarossa will connect Milan to Paris by the end of the year.

This was stated by Trenitalia CEO Luigi Corradi who underlines how "a dream will come true and we are working to bring the Frecciarossa 1000 also to Spain by the end of 2022".

The train, "which can be approved in 7 European countries, is also in the process of being approved in Spain".

In Paris, the service will be operated by Trenitalia France, formerly Thello.

"It will be a startup - explains Corradi - and the service can be increased based on the results".

The route will be via Turin in High Speed ​​and then continue to Lyon and Paris on the French network. 

For Corradi, the Trenitalia winter timetable in effect from 12 December is "a new beginning. A new journey begins, we are increasingly trying to do something new, we want to be as close as possible to those who take the train to organize a different service with the various services more integrated with each other, under the banner of intrermodality ".
