Frecciarossa Executive Class carriages consist of wide leather armchairs which are always facing the direction of travel. With only two seats per row (separated far apart), reclining backrests and adjustable footrests, you'll feel like you're travelling in your own little world of comfort!
Unlike the Business Class, the Executive Class doesn't have a quiet carriage, but it does contain a meeting room for any business needs – there are five seats, power sockets and a 32-inch TV screen that can be connected to your laptop if you want to go through a presentation or work on the go.
Free WiFi is also available on board – you just need to connect your electronic devices to the FRECCE Entertainment Portal and you'll be able to watch TV series, movies, listen to music and check travel information.
If you're travelling around Italy, there's a good chance you've fallen in love with the food. The good news is that your delightful Italian cuisine experience doesn't stop when travelling in Frecciarossa's Executive Class. In fact, you can choose between three menu options from the new Easy Gourmet at-seat meal service. Each menu includes a main course, a snack, a dessert and a bottle of water. Make sure you try the Carlo Cracco menu option, named after the renowned TV chef Carlo Cracco. Hot and cold drinks, orange juice and Illy espresso coffee are also available throughout the day.
In the morning, you'll be welcomed with a selection of free Italian newspapers – a service that's also available on weekends.
