When you buy a train ticket in Italy, first you have to endure queuing at the pace of a lumaca (snail). Once you have managed to pay for a ticket, you must make sure to validate it by getting it stamped with one of the practically invisible yellow boxes which are found on or near the platforms. Woe betide you if you forget to do this. An officious ticket collector will fine you something like 50 euros. Unless you are young and pretty. Then you might stand a chance of avoiding a fine.
This ticket is for 3 adults and 1 child (ragazzo plural ragazzi). Unstamped it is valid for 2 months. Once it has been stamped it is only valid for the next 6 hours.
But the good thing about travelling by train in Italy (if you can avoid queues/officious ticket collectors) is that it is very cheap and trains are generally on time.
