The main problem with luggage is that some of the stops are short so you have to get your stuff aboard very quickly.
I have taken the train from Venice to Florence and then from Florence to Rome. I had no problem at all. In fact, we ended up helping a woman from Chicago get her luggage on the train in Venice. She has become a dear friend.
