I just returned from Italy and had the pleasure to ride from Naples to Milan on their high-speed train. I stayed in Afrigola near Naples and had to marvel at the new modern train station. It's very ultramodern very large. In Italy it is faster to go from Naples to Milan by high-speed train then to go to the Naples airport and take the plane. My cousin goes weekly and loves the luxury, comfort and the convenience and dining over the plane

wow. it looks like a spaceship has landed.

I have to agree it does look like a giant spaceship. The station is huge and it definitely does not correspond to the surrounding area. Traveling by train is so much more comfortable than economy seats on an airplane. The food was excellent, Amtrak should hire some Italians for their dining car.
