DANTE'S TRAIN TAKES OFF AGAIN
The Dante's Train ride, introduced by the Italian State Railways Foundation last year as part of the 700th anniversary commemorations for the death of Italy's great poet proved so popular that the trip is being launched again this year.
On set weekends between the 4th June and the 1st November 2022 the vintage train “Centoporte” will carry passengers over the Apennines on the 136 km historic Faentina line from Florence to Ravenna and back.
The service includes a courier-guide on board who can give passengers sightseeing advice for the stopover in Ravenna where Dante was exiled and where his tomb can be visited.
Trains leaves Florence at 8.50 am with expected arrival at Ravenna at 11.57 am. Return journey at 17.54., with intermediate stops both ways at Borgo San Lorenzo, Marradi, Brisighella and Faenza.
Prior booking essential.
