You put large piece in the bins generally near the entrance to the car. For all practical purposes, you never need to make a reservation more than five minutes, maybe ten minutes ahead. Occasionally because of special events (soccer matches) second class on a particular train could sell but that is rare. First class never sells outs. Trenitalia.com takes US credit cards on line. Trains are frequent to most major areas so if one train is full then 30 mins or an hour late will be fine. The only reason to purchase in advance is to take advantage of any discounts fares that might be available.
