The last time we were in Italy, there were trains with cars marked with a large number "1" or a large number "2". Do those numbers indicate first and second class? Thanks!

Yes. 1st and 2nd. However many trains (Frecciarossa) now have different categories (in increasing order of price):
Standard, Business, Business Silence (no talking), Business salottino (suite), Executive

Here's a 2-minute video clip on European train skills; it's not everything there is to train travel, but it's a start.
My heart just flutters when I see the 'old-style' train schedule boards flipping...sigh...

If you are taking any but Regional,trains you will have a reserved seat in a specific car. The number of the car will be on your ticket, and that is what you need to look for.

Thanks so much for the info! The videos really clarified how to buy tickets.
