Tickets
Book early and save: Yes
Online bookings open: 4 months ahead of the travel date (usually)
THE TRAIN SERVICE:
Trenitalia’s Frecce trains compete with Italo trains on the high speed route between Torino and Firenze/Florence.
So the high speed (AV) train service between Torino/Turin and Firenze/Florence comprises:
(1) THESE Frecce trains
(2) The Italo trains
---------------------------------------------------------
FINDING A TICKET:
Trains departing at different times can be cheaper than others leaving on the same day, so you may need to look through the day's departures to find the cheapest fares.
Tickets for these Trenitalia Frecce trains are placed on sale around 4 months in advance, but the Italo train tickets are made available around 5 months ahead (usually).
Trenitalia does not sell tickets for the Italo trains - and Italo does not sell tickets for the Trenitalia trains.
If you're booking no more than 4 months ahead and have no particular preference for the train that you will be taking, the price and departure times of the Frecce and Italo trains can be directly compared on Trainline or Omio; though look out for the fact that both of these services will charge a booking fee.

Apart from when these trains slow down to travel through the Milano city centre, they spend the rest of the journey travelling at more than 280 km/h on Italy's fastest high speed lines.
