## Stations by region

Lists of railway stations in Italy by region.

## Classification

RFI classifies stations into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze categories.

### Platinum

Major stations with over 6,000 passengers per day. As major interchanges they will have many departures and arrivals daily, and will be served by high-speed/long-distance services. They are the principal stations for the Italian cities they serve. They have the highest commercial potential (both fares and revenue from on-site merchants).
