  The Italian rail network is extensive, especially in the north, and it includes a high-speed rail network that joins the major cities of Italy from Naples through northern cities such as Milan and Turin.
  Italy has 2,507 people and 12.46 km² per kilometer of rail track, giving Italy the world's 13th largest rail network.
  Italy's road network is also widespread, with a total length of about 487,700 km.
  It comprises both an extensive motorway network, mostly toll roads, and national and local roads.
