Incidentally, in second class at least (the only one I know about, being a plebian), seating layouts differ between Trenitalia (facing across tables) and Italo (airplane-style rows). The wonderful Man in Seat 61 has lots of information at https://www.seat61.com/train-travel-in-italy.htm.
Giggleswick I thought Trenitalia was the only train system for inter-city trains. Is one faster/better than the other?
