THE TRAIN SERVICE:
Trenitalia’s Frecce trains compete with Italo trains on the high speed route between Torino and Napoli/Naples.
So the high speed (AV) train service between Torino/Turin and Napoli/Naplescomprises:
(1) THESE Frecce trains
(2) Other Italo trains
---------------------------------------------------------
FINDING A TICKET:
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.
There's also a guide to booking with an independent ticket agent.
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.

Good to Know
Nine of these fourteen daily departures are faster because they take the direct route and are non-stop between Milano and Roma.
They are the trains with a journey time of around 5hr 33mins from Torino Porta Susa station.
If the departure times suit, it can be worth targeting those fatser Frecce trains, particularly if you will be travelling with a rail pass.
There are also five Frecce departures per day which take more than six hours to comeplete the journey, because they call at more stations AND also divert off the direct route to call at Firenze S.M.Novella station - where they reverse direction
Final Destination: Napoli or Salerrno
All of these trains also call at: Roma Termini - where they reverse direction
They also all reverse direction when they call at Milano Centrale station.
---------------------------------------------------------
The alternative Italo services all take the slower route which involves calling at Firenze S.M.N. station.
---------------------------------------------------------
Departing from Turin/Torino:
The trains on this route from Torino to Napoli commence their journeys at Torino Porta Nuova station.
They depart from there around 10 mins before they depart from Torino Porta Susa.
If you will be commencing your journey on the Torino Metro, it can make sense to head to Porta Susa in order to take these trains.
As all seats are reserved, including yours, you won't have to worry about no spare seats being available if you board at Torino Porta Susa.
The city centre Metro stations are Re:Umberto and Vinzaglio.
Though if you will be travelling with luggage, it can be a better idea to board these trains at Porta Nuova, you'll increase your chances of being able to find an optimum space in which to store your bags.
Though whether you travel from Porta Susa or Porta Nuova stations makes no difference to the ticket price.
---------------------------------------------------------
The journey from Torino to Napoli:
Most departures will be operated by the Frecciarossa 1000 trains, but a few departures are operated by the Freciarossa trains.
Final Destination: Napoli or Salerno
This is one of the longest European high speed train journeys - the only part of the journey which isn't at high speed occurs when the trains pass through Milano city centre.
It's also a journey of five distinct phases.
(1) The trains speed past the cars on the parallel autostrada for most of the journey between Torino and Milano.
(2) Between Milano and Bologna the trains are at their fastest on this stretch of high speed line - which is fortunate as there's nothing much to see.
(3) Between Bologna and Firenze 99% of the journey is in tunnels
(4) The high speed lines between Firenze and Roma isn't quite as fast as that between Milano and Bologna, but pleasing distant views of hills can be seen from either side of the train.
This is the most scenic part of the train journey
(5) The trains will once again attain their top speed on the high speed line between Roma and Napoli.
