With the introduction of high-speed trains, intercity trains are limited to few services per day on mainline and regional tracks.

The daytime services (''[[InterCity]]'' IC), while not frequent and limited to one or two trains per route, are essential in providing access to cities and towns off the railway's mainline network. The main routes are [[Trieste]] to [[Rome]] (stopping at [[Venice]], [[Bologna]], [[Prato]], [[Florence]] and [[Arezzo]]), [[Milan]] to Rome (stopping at [[Genoa]], [[La Spezia]], [[Pisa]] and [[Livorno]] / stopping at [[Parma]], [[Modena]], Bologna, Prato, Florence and Arezzo), Bologna to [[Lecce]] (stopping at [[Rimini]], [[Ancona]], [[Pescara]], [[Bari]] and [[Brindisi]]) and Rome to [[Reggio di Calabria]] (stopping at [[Latina, Lazio|Latina]] and [[Naples]]). In addition, the Intercity trains provide a more economical means of long-distance rail travel within Italy.

The night trains (''Intercity Notte'' ICN) have sleeper compartments and washrooms, but no showers on board. Main routes are Rome to [[Bolzano]]/Bozen (calling at Florence, Bologna, [[Verona]], [[Rovereto]] and [[Trento]]), Milan to [[Lecce]] (calling at Piacenza, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Faenza, Forlì, Cesena, Rimini, Ancona, Pescara, Bari and Brindisi), [[Turin]] to Lecce (calling at [[Alessandria]], [[Voghera]], [[Piacenza]], Parma, Bologna, Rimini, Pescara, Termoli, San Severo,Foggia, Barletta, Bisceglie, Molfetta, Bari, Monopoli, Fasano, Ostuni and Brindisi) and Reggio di Calabria to Turin (calling at Naples, Rome, [[Livorno]], La Spezia and Genova). Most portions of these ICN services run during the night; since most services take 10 to 15 hours to complete a one-way journey, their day-time portion provide extra train connections to complement with the Intercity services.

There are a total of 86 intercity trains running within Italy per day.
