Frecciargento

Frecciargento is a high-speed train of the Italian national train operator, Trenitalia, and a member of the train category Le Frecce. The name, which means "Silver Arrow", was introduced in 2012 after it had previously been known as Eurostar Italia. Frecciargento trains operate at speeds of up to 250 kilometres per hour (155 mph).[1]

According to the words of Trenitalia's CEO Luigi Corradi, starting from summer 2022, the Frecciargento service will be progressively abandoned. The trains that operate today as Frecciargento will be incorporated, with a change of livery, into the Frecciarossa service.[2]
