Great news if you fly to or from Rome, Italy
I almost missed this news since I have been traveling for months but if you go Home to Italy via Rome you can now take a direct train to the airport from a few cities without a stop/change in Rome!
What is more exciting to me is the news that you can take this route from with Florence, Pisa, La Spezia, Genoa and Venice. For me it means no more train changes with luggage!
I found this post on Conde Nast Traveler. To find details I did the typical G search for Frecciarossa and found the following:
Article is from The Local IT I can not wait until they have a direct train to Milan's airport! No more changing trains in the city....
From next month, travellers will be able to take one of Italy's high-speed trains directly to and from Rome airport without going into the city centre.

Starting on December 18th, Frecciarossa fast trains will connect the capital's main Fiumicino airport with Florence, Pisa, La Spezia, Genoa and Venice.
While the cities are already linked by rail, running the high-speed line via the airport will save inbound travellers a trip across town to either Termini or Tiburtina station on the other side of Rome.
There are plans to introduce similar services to and from Milan's Malpensa airport from 2019,
said the director of the Italian state railway company, Gianfranco Battisti, as he unveiled proposals on Tuesday for a "great integrated transport network" between Italy's airports, train stations and ports.
