Some trains require seat reservations, and on other trains it's optional. If you're riding a train on which reservations are only recommended or completely optional and you don't have a reservation, you can sit in any available seat in the appropriate class you have booked.
Seat Reservations are based on actual availability at time of booking (as such there is no guarantee of seat proximity in case of very busy sectors/travel date) . Seat Reservation is an additional service offered by Trenitalia and is offered on a voluntary basis and not required to complete the train booking.
