We will be traveling by trains between Milan, Venice, Florence and Rome. I have purchased my train tickets from Trenitalia website. From what I understand Freccia train is a high speed train.We will be taking Frecciabianca, FrecciaRossa, Frecciargento trains and we have already received seats assignments. Do we still need to make reservations and/or have to do anything prior to taking these trains? Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

Your reservations are already embedded in your ticket that you bought on their website.

You are good to go. All trains in Italy except for Regional trains require a reservation and it comes with the ticket. However, it is ONLY good that particular train, day and time. So if you miss the train, then you will need a new reservation and perhaps a new ticket depending on the class or level of ticket that you previous purchased. Not unlike our airlines ticket system.

Andre and Frank, thank so much. I will make sure that our family will be at the train station early.

For the same reason, you do NOT need to stamp or validate your tickets once you arrive at the train station. You only have to validate tickets that could be used at any time, not those for a specific time with a specific seat assignment. (It's usually the Regionale trains that require stamping, never the Freccia trains.)
