I just found out you can book a train ticket in Italy for 9 euros if you buy it months ahead

I was looking at a trip to Rome for next fall and saw this deal on the Trenitalia site. It's called the 'Super Economy' fare and it's for certain routes if you book way in advance, like 120 days out. I checked the price for a ticket from Rome to Florence and it was actually 9 euros, which is way less than I ever thought possible. The normal price is over 40 euros, so that's a huge saving just for planning early. Has anyone else snagged one of these deals and had it work out okay?

Thought that was too good to be true until I tried it last year. Booked a cheap ticket from Milan to Venice and had no issues at all. It really does pay to plan ahead sometimes.

Cheap tickets are great until you miss the train and pay triple for the next one.
