The BBC is reporting the derailment of what looks like a Frecciarossa 1000 (Hitachi/Bombardier) train near Milan.
It appears to have happened on the high-speed route between Milan and Bologna.
It was a very early service, with low numbers of passengers on board (28).

It was a very early service, with low numbers of passengers on board (28).
Two people have been killed after a high-speed train derailed near the northern Italian city of Lodi, emergency services say.
Both of the dead are thought to be drivers. At least one person, a cleaner on the train, had significant but not life-threatening injuries.
The train was travelling from Milan to the southern city of Salerno.
All services on the Milan-Bologna high-speed route have been suspended and diverted via conventional lines.
The train left the tracks some 40km (25 miles) from Milan at around 05:30 local time (04:30 GMT), the railway company said.

The Italian text from RAI suggests line maintenance might have been in progress on the route at the time.
