The High-Speed Italian Train Made Of 95% Recycled Materials I Mighty Trains

The Italo Evo is Italy's first privately run high-speed service. Made up of a modern train design inspired by Italy's sports car history and heritage, this train service runs through the north of the country, from Venice to Turin, and reaches speeds of up to 250 kmph.
