In Sicily, a new program of historic train journeys is scheduled between October 11 and December 20. These trips aim to connect travelers with archaeological and natural sites using vintage carriages. Meanwhile, in Puglia, the Railway Museum is hosting ‘Viaggio nel tempo’ (Journey Through Time), an interactive theatrical experience featuring historical machinery and period costumes to recreate regional life from the 1930s to the 1970s. The promotion of railway history has expanded to include educational conferences and television. The ‘Giovedì Treni!’ conference series recently held its fifth session in Abano Terme. Additionally, the television program ‘Signori si parte – Treni storici in giro per l’Italia’ is set to premiere its second season on La7, featuring journeys through the Ligurian region via historical trains to explore local landscapes and traditions. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-05: Italy promotes railway heritage through conferences and television Italian railway heritage is being showcased through the “Giovedì Treni!” conference series and a new season of the historical train travel program “Signori si parte” on La7. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italy-promotes-railway-heritage-through-conferences-and-television ### 2026-09-30: Italy celebrates railway heritage with historic trains and museum events Italy celebrates railway heritage through historic train excursions in Sicily and theatrical museum experiences in Puglia, showcasing vintage locomotives and regional history. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italy-celebrates-railway-heritage-with-historic-trains-and-museum-events --- Cite as: Italian railway heritage cultural promotion.
