Introduction to railway industry in Italy
The first railway in Italy was the Napoli-Portici line, built in 1839 to connect the royal palace of Naples to the seaside. After the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, a project was started to build a network from the Alps to Sicily, in order to connect the country. Nowadays the rail tracks and infrastructure are managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). Total length of 16 723 km and the track gauge is 1435 mm.
