Trenitalia....?? Trains in Italy?

[Lauren Ronaldo]

I am wanting to book a train ticket from Venice to Rome in Sept, on Trenitalia (as it is the only train company that can send e-mail confirmation) but have had some trouble trying to book a train....
is Trenitalia a good train company to go with or is it worth waiting until I get to Venice to book at ticket? If I book it while in Venice will it be more expensive and will there be a good chance of getting a train...?
Thanks in advance... =)

We booked the Euro rail, round trip, Rome to Venice. We went to their website to book directly and received our tickets in the mail yesterday. We are also traveling in September and had plenty of time to receive them. They will overnight for extra charge. This is our first time traveling to Italy and I have had mixed responses as weather to book ahead or wait till you arrive. We choose to book as much in advance as possible. You might try looking into the regional train, if you don't mind spending a few more hours in travel time.
