Fantastic Work, enjoyable to watch! Looks like a very comfortable experience all around, perfect for those travelling between the cities for work - the prices aren’t too bad either.

@@travelmentaryTV Thanks, it should be a fun trip..I had a German Rail pass last September and it allowed me to take a DB Bahn train to Venice..I enjoyed the trip down through Austria and Venice was a great city to see..

I think the ETR500 is more comfortable than the Frecciarossa1000 on the 2 lower class, but the ETR400 (frecciarossa 1000) is better for the 2 higher classes

I think that's true and your comment gives me an idea: I probably should do a comparison video in future! Thanks for watching.

travelmentary TV glad that i gave you an idea ;-)

Thanks for this. This is my favourite transportation channel. My favourite station is Milano Centrale. I also like Madrid Atocha, Liverpool Street in London, and Roma Tiburtina.

Hi, thank you very much for your comment, it means a lot to me! Milano is a nice station and very big. I remember it took me very long until I found that supermarket on the lower floor :D. The other ones you mention, I still have to visit. Thanks again for watching and your comment!

@@travelmentaryTV No problem, you deserve it. If you go back to Italy in the future, I suggest you go to Napoli Afragola station, it's a new station for high speed trains designed by Zaha Hadid, and apparently it's considered the most beautiful in Italy (but I've never had the chance to visit it)

Great travel idea! I have always wanted to visit the South of Italy. Zaha Hadid was a genius and it would be very nice to make a trip from/to that station and create a video. Generally, I kind of started to prefer making train videos over plane trip reports (although those will be coming, too). Thanks again!

Does the super economy/ economy class also have an open bar like the executive base fare does?

Hi and thanks! Ah, now I remember, they look the same, but the configuration is more dense :). But the Railjet isn’t a real high speed train, is it? Thanks for watching and leaving your comment!

Italians do it better 🇮🇹

Why not use KM? It’s better to use both KM and M.

great train and cabin, but also poor catering, also in the lounge

I wander know if freciarossa 1000 have doble seat as I can seating next to my wife

Hi, in Executive Class there are no double seats, but you could sit facing each other. In all other classes there are 2-1 or 2-2 configurations, so you can sit next to each other.

The Venice train station reminds me of brutal, fascist architecture--- not at all sympathetic with Venice in history or spirit. Some favorite stations are Berlin HB (very big but it works!) ad Grand Central in NYC.

Hi, glad to see you here! I agree about Venezia Santa Lucia, it just doesn’t fit to the rest of the city and looks kind of evil :D. I have mixed feelings about Berlin Hb, I probably was there at the wrong time ;). Grand Central is one that I would love to include in a video. Thanks a lot for watching and your constant support!

Rationalism and modern was the trend in architecture in those days all around the world (Wright, Gropius, Le Corbusier, Aalto, van der Rohe), while there was rationalism (and Venezia Santa Lucia is part of this trend) with for example the Casa del Fascio in Como or the city of Latina or even Niguarda, who don't mix up at all with the historic buildings, there was also for example the Vittoriano, Milano Centrale, Palazzo dell'Arengario, the EUR with the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, the Foro Italico, the Monumento alla Vittoria in Bolzano, the Palazzo dell'Aeronautica... all mix up better than the MAXXI or the Ponte della Costituzione will ever do, and these are part of fascist architecture. Also if you want a socialist (and leftist in general) spirit in Italy look to the city of Milan or the region of Emilia-Romagna, not Venice (where the Film Festival was initiated by another fascist and approved by the Fascist Government in 1932 and that bridge connecting the city with the mainland was built the year later).

@Andrea Moroni Interesting comment with many examples, thanks for sharing your view! I think Milano Centrale was designed by Stacchini before Mussolini came into power and plans were changed to conform with Fascist design language at least to some degree. You mentioned the Ponte della Constituzione, which is even more controversial than Santa Lucia, that’s for sure. I think with largely medieval buildings around it is difficult to build something completely different without causing confusion, no matter if it’s a fascist or socialist design.

@andreamoroni97

@@travelmentaryTV Yes, Stacchini designed it in 1912, but right before construction he made small changes to adapt it to what was wanted at the time, those small changes were only on the inside, the exterior remained untouched, meaning that for the town hall that pushed the project it was good, and infact it follows the pattern of the “brutal, fascist architecture“ (and a fascist ideal for that matter) of merging the old and the new like all the other examples, while modern architecture rejects completely the old styles (in the Bauhaus they didn't even teach the history of architecture) and we ended up with exactly Santa Lucia in Venice. It is possible to merge old and new, you can do that if you follow the bulding codes that imposes even few colors for the new buildings in historic centres, at the time it wasn't as restrictive as it is today. The Ponte della Costituzione is just a joke, both on safety and aesthetics, to think that some go to ski there as a joke says it all. Also not to get too political, but I didn't express well in the comment before, I should have said only 'leftist' instead of adding 'socialist' because Mussolini himself never refused all of the socialist ideas he had, even after he was kicked out of the socialist party, Fascism took both the good ideas from Left (without falling in Communism, being against it) and Right (without falling into Nazism, for example the trains from Milano Centrale to the concentration camps only began when the germans took control) and many reforms made at the time would be considered socialists today.
