Top Comments of this video!! :3
Awesome video, just a few annotations: the ETR 485s are all either been sold to Greece or repurposed on the Frecciabianca service, while all ETR 700 are all rebranded as Frecciarossa. Frecciabianca is about to be discontinued and only operates in very few cities on two lines, both originating from Rome and reaching Ravenna or Genova (then splits reaching Turin or Milan).
Frecciargento on the other hand reaches more destinations especially in the south on the Adriatic line reaching Apulia and Calabria (which are also serviced by Frecciarossa during holidays and summer).

As other people mentioned in the comments, the section of this video dedicated to Trenitalia isn't up to date: it's not really the creator's fault, Trenitalia happens to be in the process of reviewing its brandings and rolling stock assignments, a process that is supposed to leave Frecciarossa as their only brand for free-market high-speed services, interrupting a process of growing ambiguity.
An incorrect information that no one else has yet highlighted is about the ETR 470. Cisalpino was a joint venture between the Italian and Swiss railways: when it was dissolved in 2009, 5 ETR 485 became owned by Trenitalia and 4 by SBB.
SBB always struggled to mantain theirs, probably because their workshops weren't used to that kind of rolling stock, and decommissioned them in 2015, as soon as they had enough ETR 610 to replace them. Trenitalia also replaced them with their new ETR 610 a few years later, but started using them on Frecciabianca services from Rome to Calabria. In 2020 they decided to refurbrish and transfer all of their 5 ETR 470 to TrainOSE.

The video, although good, does not focus on the rivalary, which its title leads one to believe. Italian trains have come a long way. I took the Frecciarossa and Frecciargento in 2022, and was very pleased with the service. One improvement I would suggest is WiFi on board, though. It was needlessly complicated.

in italy exist another state rail way sistem called ferrovia circumetnea it uses an old set of trains (i think diesel) and a single rail way sistem, the name incates the rail network that is near the enta and services all the near cities is an half circle of mount etna (situated in sicily Catania-Riposto)

Etr 700 now is freccia rossa, actually freccia argento and freccia bianca services are going to be discontinued, because the classic service regionale / regionale veloce is fast enough and sometimes freccia argento was faster than freccia rossa due to stops so it was a bit confusing
