Italy’s Transport Network
Transport Systems in Europe
Planes and Airports
Trains
• Industrial Revolution• Principal Italian's Railways• High Speed Trains
The Liverpool and Manchester RailwayWith the Industrial Revolution we have the world's first railway.
Opened on 15 September 1830, it was 56Km and initially only for goods trains.In 1831 it became a famous railway that allowed people to travel from Liverpool to Manchester.
Train leaving the station
The first Italian Railway
The first italian railway is the Adriatic Railway. It's 590Km long and was opened between 1863 and 1872.
Milan and Rome Train Stations
Roma Termini is the main railway station of Italy, and the second largest railway station in Europe.
This terminal is composed of 32 tracks
Like Roma Termini, Milano Centrale is the main railway of north Italy.Both stations are important for Italian “high speed” trains.
Frecciarossa and High Speed TrainThe fastest italian train is the Frecciarossa.It's a really important revolution for our country because you can reach Milan from Rome in just 2h & 45m.A new high speed train that will be used for connect Milan and Rome in only 2h will be available from 2015. It will be the fastest train ever produced in Europe with a speed of 400 km/h.
Cars
•Diesel and GasolineHigh environmental impact in exchange of low
manufacturing cost•Compressed Natural Gas
More expensive than Diesel and Gasoline but less polluting•Electric
Most expensive type of car, does not pollute the city as it relocates the environmental impact where energy is produced
Eco-friendly cars are very expensive and that’s whynowadays they are so common. In Verona a lot ofhybrid cars are being used as taxis
Founded in 1899 in Turin, it’s the biggest car manufacturer in Italy.
This industry produces over 1 million cars in a year and some of them
are built directly hybrid
Fiat
Ferrari
Founded in 1929 in Modena, it’s one of the most famous car manufacturersin the World. Their cars are very expensive and owning one of them says tothe rest of the world.
Lamborghini
Lamborghini S.P.A. began manufacturing tractors. In 1948 started to produce luxury carsNowadays it is nearly as famous and expensive as Ferrari.
Environmental impact
Electric cars are the future but a lot of gasoline cars are still used and this is threatening Europe’s eco-balance
Historical Ports
Italy has four historical maritime republics:Amalfi, Genova, Pisa and Venezia. Their insignia are still on the flag of our mercantile navy.
