Italy Strike June 12, 2026

Hello. We are wondering if there is anyone that could help shed some light on what this strike scheduled for June 12, 2026 will actually impact. Specifically if it will actually impact train travel? The below information is what I have found on the https://scioperi.mit.gov.it/mit2/public/scioperi website.

Start: June 12, 2026

End: June 12, 2026

Trade Unions: ADL COBAS/CLAP/COBAS PRIVATE WORK/SIAL COBAS

Sector: Multi-sector

Category: EMPLOYEES OF SOCC. CONTRACTORS AND ADMINISTRATION STAFF AT, OR FOR, THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES

Mode: FULL WORK SHIFT

Relevance: National

Proclamation Date: April 24, 2026

This strike happens to fall on our most complex and detailed travel day of our entire trip (I know..Should not have scheduled on Friday). We are slated to travel from Montepulciano, Tuscany to Varenna, Lake Como via rail starting with the InterCity train from Chuisi-Chianciano Terme to Bologna Centrale. Then the Frecciarossa from Bologna Centrale to Milano Centrale. Then finally the Regionale Trenord from Milano Centrale to Varenna-Esino. It doesn't appear that any of our trains would fall into the guaranteed category from what I have seen on the TrenItalia website.
I am considering reserving a rental car to make the trip as a back up plan. But I cannot make heads or tails as to what this particular strike is going to actually impact.
Appreciate any insight or feed back. Thanks.

We are also traveling this day to Varenna, but starting in Lucca, Italy. Are there any ideas on how to manage a potential rail strike for June 12?
