The Florence–Faenza railway, also known as Faentina railway, is a railway line in Italy.
The line was opened in several sections as follows:
During the Second World War, the railway was heavily damaged by retreating German troops on the Gothic Line which made it unsuitable for railway services until 1954. However, the services were only restored between Faenza and San Piero a Sieve, forcing the Florence-bound trains to reverse at Borgo San Lorenzo into the Borgo San Lorenzo-Pontassieve railway, with the railway services to San Piero a Sieve being withdrawn in the 1970s.
In 1999, the Faentina was entirely refurbished and the track from Borgo San Lorenzo to Florence was reopened via San Piero a Sieve, Vaglia and Fiesole.
At present days the railway is served by Regional Trains Faenza-Firenze Santa Maria Novella calling at Brisighella, Fognano, San Cassiano, San Martino in Gattara, Marradi, Biforco, Crespino del Lamone, Ronta, Borgo San Lorenzo, San Piero a Sieve, Vaglia, Fiesole-Caldine and Firenze San Marco Vecchio. Some of these trains make less stops for a faster service calling at Brisighella, Marradi, Ronta, Borgo San Lorenzo, San Piero a Sieve, Vaglia, Fiesole-Caldine and Firenze San Marco Vecchio.
There is also a daily regional train operating, except on Sundays and Public Holidays, between Ravenna and Firenze Santa Maria Novella calling at Godo, Russi, Granarolo Faentino, Faenza, Brisighella, Fognano, San Cassiano, San Martino in Gattara, Marradi, Biforco, Crespino del Lamone, Ronta, Borgo San Lorenzo, San Piero a Sieve, Vaglia, Fiesole-Caldine and Firenze San Marco Vecchio.
During the summer service, the line is also served by two Regional Trains between Firenze Santa Maria Novella and Rimini:
