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
Roma, 26 July 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 new timetable has also introduced a new pricing system, based on three levels:
Supereconomy, Economy and Base, studied to increase simplicity, flexibility and
convenience, with different discount levels on the Base price. The Base ticket will
guarantee unlimited reservation changes free of charge up to the train departure.
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 millions passengers every year on
a railway network of over 16,700 km, of which 1,000 for HS trains.
