Towns where we confirmed an active railway station. Some people cannot drive, some would rather not, and some want the slow way in on purpose. We checked conservatively, so this is what we could confirm, not everything that exists. A town missing here may still have a station we have not mapped.

From across Italy
Five towns to begin with
Castelmola
Province: Messina
A rock village at 529 meters directly above Taormina, the upper acropolis of ancient Tauromenium with a Norman castle and a 1947 almond-wine bar.
Monteprandone
Province: Ascoli Piceno
A hilltop borgo at 266 meters above the lower Tronto valley, its walled center climbing toward a summit church with a view to the Adriatic.
Sutera
Province: Caltanissetta
A medieval village clinging to the base of a 800-meter monolith in the Nisseno interior, with an Arab quarter and a sanctuary on the summit.
Marano Lagunare
Province: Udine
A fishing town on its own pastel-coloured harbour, with a working fleet, an Aquileian Venetian past, and a still-strict dialect of its own.
Bellagio
Province: Como
On the promontory where Lake Como splits into three arms, with Villa Serbelloni on the high ground and Villa Melzi on the western shore.
