You will have to use the agent

I just returned from a great trip through northern Italy and had no trouble using my US Bank Visa at ticket machines in the stations at Milan, Florence, and Venice. As stated in another post above there is the option to choose First or Second class. You have a choice of several languages for the instructions and the machines will walk you through the process. If the station is busy there may be a line at the machines, but it is a fairly quick and easy purchase.
