Fondazione FS Italiane Official Partner of the TV Program “Signori si parte – Historic Trains Touring Italy”

The production company DirAmare is proud to announce its collaboration with Fondazione FS Italiane of the Italian State Railways Group for the production of the television program titled “SIGNORI SI PARTE – Historic Trains Touring Italy”.

The first season of the program, consisting of six episodes filmed in various Italian regions, was entirely shot aboard the historic trains of Fondazione FS Italiane—vehicles that bear witness to a time when traveling was a slow, poetic, and profound experience.

From steam locomotives crossing pristine valleys to the iconic Arlecchino express train, a symbol of Italy’s economic boom, the show journeys along tracks that feel suspended in time, telling the story of an authentic and surprising Italy.

The support of Fondazione FS Italiane, led by Engineer Luigi Cantamessa, has made possible a truly unique narrative.

The richness and variety of the historic rolling stock provided turned each stop of the journey into an open-air set, where the beauty of the locations intertwines with the charm of the trains traveling Italy’s rails.

The program highlights the history of rail transport, but also showcases the territory, local communities, and traditions—an Italy often far from the spotlight, yet close to the hearts of those who live in it and rediscover it.

“SIGNORI SI PARTE – Historic Trains Touring Italy” promotes a new idea of travel and discovery, rooted in slowness, observation, and emotion.

In an age that races ahead, “Signori si parte” is an invitation to slow down, to look out the window, to be transported—literally—into memory and wonder.

With this television production, DirAmare reaffirms its commitment to enhancing Italy’s cultural and landscape heritage through a thoughtful, evocative, and authentic storytelling approach—one that looks to the past to tell a more mindful and sustainable present.

The trains have departed. And we are on board.
