<p><i>Frecciargento</i> (Italian: [ˌfrettʃarˈdʒɛnto]; from <i>freccia argento</i>, "silver arrow") is a <a href="/facts/High-speed_rail/I1obpP6M">high-speed</a> <a href="/facts/Train/0mkFQDg9">train</a> of the <a href="/facts/Italy/tUf0PDYF">Italian</a> national train operator, <a href="/facts/Trenitalia/rSjchlKm">Trenitalia</a>, as one of its <i><a href="/facts/Le_Frecce/ngQkCHc9">Le Frecce</a></i> brands (along with <i><a href="/facts/Frecciarossa/xecD9nef">Frecciarossa</a></i> and <i><a href="/facts/Frecciabianca/lxtlQMuq">Frecciabianca</a></i>). The name was introduced in 2012; these trains were previously branded as <a href="/facts/Eurostar_Italia/0EDGIcKd">Eurostar Italia</a>. <i>Frecciargento</i> trains operate at speeds of up to 250 kilometres per hour (155 mph). </p><p>In May 2022, it was announced by Trenitalia's CEO <a href="/facts/Luigi_Corradi_(engineer)/HyJgAptk">Luigi Corradi</a> that, starting from summer 2022, the <i>Frecciargento</i> brand will be phased out. The trains that operate as Frecciargento will be incorporated, with a change of livery, into the <i>Frecciarossa</i> service. However in November 2023, it has been announced that some Frecciabianca services will be upgraded to Frecciaargento, therefore keeping the brand for the time being. </p>
