And yet it moves, and it can be said finally: after 8 years of construction, more than 30 years after the start of the design phase (the feasibility study dates back to 1993) here is the first train on the new high-speed line Brescia Est-Verona. No passengers or goods on board, but only technicians: the one photographed in recent days is indeed the first of the so-called 'test runs' of the rolling stock, a sort of 'baptism of fire' for the new fast line, the tests that will continue until the end of the year to complete the testing of the track, ready for the definitive start of operation starting from 2027.
