Spoke with my two credit card companies today - still no joy. The issue doesn't seem to be on my end (in fact, only one actually declined the transaction initially) but rather with trenitalia's booking merchant. Even after telling the banks to approve the transactions, I still cannot get the trenitalia site to book it.
I'll try calling trenitalia later today.
