The first one: Blazing fast, free Wifi.
Actually, it's not free. It costs literally one euro cent. Apparently that's just so they can get your personal data.
If you follow any East Coast media elites on Twitter, you've certainly seen them whine about the crappy WiFi on Amtrak trains.
Anyway, this WiFi just worked, except when the train was going through a tunnel through a mountain, but that's an understandable flaw.
The other superior thing about Italian trains: Espresso carts.
3 or 4 times on the 3 hour trip, an espresso cart came through the aisle, making fresh-poured espresso in little plastic, clinical cups.
