Which side of the train do you sit on in Venice?

You can't choose which side you sit. The trains get turned in service, so a seat might be on either side. Indeed, if the Venice-Rome service goes via the main station in Florence (and most do), a seat that is on the left for Venice-Florence will be on the right for Florence-Rome, as the train reverses at Florence.
