Di old carriages dem dey come back. From 11 October 2026, di historic trains of Ferrovie dello Stato go start to run for Sicily lines again, and you go ride authentic period carriages, as Radio RTM talk am. Radio RTM, wey report from Palermo on 2 October 2026, describe di return as one "viaggio straordinario" between history, culture and landscape. According to Ragusa News, di 2026 programme get 12 runs wey go end on 20 December. Na di Assessorato del Turismo, Sport e Spettacolo della Regione Siciliana dey push di initiative, together with Fondazione FS Italiane and FS Treni Turistici Italiani; Ragusa Oggi also talk say Regione Siciliana join with di same two FS bodies.
For Ragusa province, di name wey matter na di Treno del Barocco, wey dem also call Ferrovia del Barocco. Ragusa News talk say di connections dey between Siracusa and Modica, and di trips dey programmed for 31 October, 1 November and 8 December. Ragusa Oggi describe am as historic itinerary wey dey cross di South-East of di island, and di paper talk about three dates for di Barocco route — but di excerpt cut off before e list dem, so we no go add any date wey di sources no give.
Radio RTM explain wetin di route dey put in front of travellers: dem dey cross di wonders of Val di Noto, dey look architectural masterpieces, rural views and panoramas wey change colour with autumn light. Di same report talk say di Barocco season na part of di vintage train season wey di region dey organise, and Ragusa Oggi talk say even in 2026 di Ferrovia del Barocco go be protagonist again.
Di programme no dey only for di Barocco line. Ragusa News talk say departure points dey from Palermo, Messina, Catania, Siracusa and Caltanissetta, and di lines dey pass through art cities, villages, and archaeological and natural sites. First appointment na Sunday 11 October on Palermo–Roccapalumba, then 18 October na Messina–Santo Stefano di Camastra. Di Ragusa News copy stop around 25 October, so we no go claim di full list of dates wey follow.
So di thing wey dey come for Ragusa province na dis: old carriages, di Val di Noto scenery, and dates wey don already show for Siracusa–Modica. Di light wey dey change colour as autumn dey come still dey inside di picture. Radio RTM report end mid-sentence at "Salire su queste carrozze storiche", so di invitation dey hang right there.
