Thanks, Stormy. This is critical information for me. I really appreciate the warning!

I was about to post as well. We don't need a train until Sunday from Rome to Naples, does anyone have any experience with the Italian train system and if this will cause chaos into Sunday as people rebook? We didn't book in advance because we aren't sure what time we'll make it to Rome Termini. Our flight is scheduled to arrive at FCO at 12:50 on the 16th.

Nobody will need to "rebook" two days later.

Pessimists travelling on the 14th will either rebook on a guaranteed Trenitalia long distance train or will take a local running during the time-slots when going on strike is forbidden.

The remaining pessimists will book an Italotreno bullet train on the 14th.

Optimists will simply bet on their Trenitalia's high speed train to run even during the strike.
