April travel and train strike

We are traveling to see friends in Umbria during the week of April 19 to 26. As you see, two holidays are involved here. We are set to pick up a car in Florence at the airport (I checked to see that they would be open the Saturday before Easter). We plan to return the car on April 26, then take the train to Milan for a few days before flying home. Today, my friend sent me a notice that a train strike is planned for April 26! I wondered for a moment about traveling to Milan on April 25, before remembering that it is also a big holiday in Italy. Is this possible?

Any advice? Thank you.

Are you asking if it’s possible to take a train on April 25?

Of course it is
You can check the schedules now
Fast trains at least one every hour

Strike may not even happen
There is a site where you can see which trains will run-maybe your friend could share that or someone here should have it

Not sure but ItaloTreno (the private company) may not be affected
