Here's the translated text, keeping the bold formatting as requested:
The "Centoporte" (Hundred-door) carriages are an icon of Italian railways, in service from 1928 to the 1980s. Named for their numerous doors, they were ideal for commuter traffic.
They were among the first Italian carriages with an entirely metal body, marking a technological evolution. After their decommissioning from regular service, many examples have been recovered and restored by the FS Foundation and various associations, making it possible today to relive the charm of past journeys aboard historical trains, with their liveries like the chestnut-Isabella.
For an experience that goes beyond a simple journey, one Sunday a month our itinerary from Florence to Val d'Orcia comes to life with the whistle and smoke of a majestic steam locomotive. Let yourself be enveloped by the atmosphere of a bygone era: you'll hear the hypnotic rhythm of the connecting rods and admire the power of the steam, as the train slowly moves through timeless landscapes. It's a true leap into the past, a magical and authentic way to rediscover the charm of railway travel from another time.
The D445 are one of the most famous and long-lived diesel locomotives in the Italian rolling stock, having entered service in the early 1970s. Designed for versatile use, they have distinguished themselves both in hauling passenger and freight trains, operating on almost all non-electrified lines in the country. These locomotives are easily recognisable by their distinctive design and Isabella-green livery or, later, XMPR. Robust and reliable, they have represented a fundamental pillar for rail transport, ensuring essential connections even on difficult routes.
