What is the difference between Trenitalia and Intercity?

Intercity trains in Italy are run by Italian state-owned Trenitalia. Comfortable Intercity services travel between the country's major cities and towns, making more regular stops than the high-speed Trenitalia Frecce fleet of Frecciarossa, Frecciabianca and Frecciargento trains.

Intercity trains are slower (and generally cheaper) than Frecce trains because they're conventional express trains and rarely use the high speed lines.
