On days when strikes are held, Trenitalia, Italy's national railway, guarantees minimum transport services. These services are a direct result of an agreement between Trenitalia and the trade unions.
Note for Leonardo Express passengers: You will be guaranteed your connection between Rome Termini and Fiumicino Airport with the "Leonardo Express" service or with replacement buses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAIN STRIKES IN ITALY
Is my train service guaranteed?
If your train is providing local transport during essential services for peak times (from 06:00 to 09:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00 Mon-Sat), these will be guaranteed. Some long-distance trains are also guaranteed on all days, including holidays.
What happens if my train is already traveling (departed at station) when a strike occurs?
Trains that are traveling when a strike begins and are not canceled in advance at their departure station will normally reach their final destination, provided those stations can be reached within one hour from the strike’s start. If trains are not able to make the 1 hour time limit, then they may terminate at the next station, before your stop is reached. In the event that this happens, Trenitalia will assist you with an alternative connection provided there are still trains available on that day to reach your final destination.
What does 'essential services' mean?
Essential services means that Trenitalia has guaranteed transport, but this may not be on the same train type originally booked or at the same time that you originally booked. It just means that we will get you there as soon as possible.
In addition to essential services, Trenitalia provides additional travel support to passengers affected by a strike. Notices about these services, as well as unpredictable changes, for example, a change of route for long-distance trains, can be found at railway stations, at
www.trenitalia.com, and through the local Italian media.
