Hello I'm traveling to Italy in August and it was very easy to find trains for my first leg of the trip but I can't seem to find trains from Florence to Monterosso al Mare with a stop in Pisa. I've read there are multiple trains daily yet when I go to search on different websites there's only one from Florence to Pisa and is already sold out. Is there a trick to find these or is it too early?

Hi. Yes, it's too early for August. But just pick a sample day in the next week or two and you will see there are many trains per day. The best website to use is the English version of trenitalia.com. For Florence, use the Italian name 'Firenze S. M. Novella'., that's the main station in Florence. The schedule in August will be very similar to what you are seeing now. No need to plan in advance for this route; best / very easy to just wait and buy tickets when in Italy. Enjoy your trip!

You are searching for trains with no discounts and no reserved seats. Trains that can't sell out.
Therefore the summer schedules will be uploaded on trenitalia.com before the June 11 deadline, but not weeks before like they do with the high speed trains with only reserved seats.
I am positive you have funnier things to do than looking up the schedules on Trenitalia.com , just get all your tickets in a single transaction on June 12.
