European Railroad Discussion > Florence Santa Maria NovellaDate: 05/21/17 00:43 Florence Santa Maria Novella Author: Hartington I didn't have much time so these are all a bit random.
Anyway here we have E464.317 leading a double deck train and a double deck driving trailer. Date: 05/21/17 00:46 Re: Florence Santa Maria Novella Author: Hartington Then we have some idea about the high-speed competition that occurs between FS and the private operator "Italo".

Date: 05/21/17 06:44 Re: Florence Santa Maria Novella Author: colehour Thanks for those photos. I traveled to and from SMN several times when I lived in Italy. When I left (2007) privatization was just beginning. I hope that FS is doing better than Alitalia now.
A little trivia: the station is named for the nearby basilica, built by the Dominicans in the late Middle Ages/early Renaissance. One of the artworks in the church (by Masaccio) is one of the first examples of the use of true perspective in painting.
