Press Release
TRENITALIA/BIENNALE
DI
VENEZIA:
REDUCTIONS
AND
REBATES FOR THE 69TH VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM
FESTIVAL
 reserved to CARTAFRECCIA members and visitors travelling to
Venice with Frecciargento and Frecciabianca
 reductions also on entrance fees for the 13th International
Architecture Exhibition
Rome - August 29, 2012
Travelling to Venice by train will give Trenitalia customers interesting reductions and
rebates for the 69th International Film Festival, at Lido (from 29 Aug. to 8 Sept.)
and for the 13th International Architecture Exhibition at Arsenale and Giardini (from
29 Aug. to 25 Nov.).
The reductions, which are the result of the renovated agreement between Gruppo
Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane and Biennale di Venezia, will be reserved to
CARTAFRECCIA holders (Trenitalia membership card) and visitors travelling to the
lagoon city on Frecciargento and Frecciabianca trains. Trenitalia is, in fact, the official carrier
of both events.
Visitors travelling by train must show their train ticket with date of travel max. 3 days
before; the holders of CARTAFRECCIA, instead, will simply need to exhibit their
Trenitalia card at the Exhibition box office to obtain a reduction. When existing,
discounts for the projections at the Film Festival will be applied until the available seats
are sold out.
38 Frecciabianca trains connect Venice to Milan on a daily basis and 30 Frecciargento travel
between the Capital City and Venice, for a total of about 14 thousand seats. Another
Frecciabianca train connects Venice and Lecce during the summer.
The appointments of the Venice Biennale will be reported on the media of GruppoFS
Italiane, on the La Freccia magazine and on the new media, FSNews, FSNews Radio,
LaFreccia.tv and Twitter, with the @fsnews_IT. profile.
By renovating this collaboration, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane confirms its commitment
to promoting culture alongside international prestigious institutions.
It is a natural vocation for a Company that has been rooted in the civil and economic
fabric of the Country for over one century, which accounts today for about 74
thousands workers, and transports 600 million passengers every year on a railway
network of over 16,700 km, of which 1,000 for HS trains.
