It's obvious watching the stages of the 3-week Giro d'Italia cycle-race that national train operator Trenitalia is a major sponsor, with their logo plastered all over the place (including in Hungary where the race started this year).
But this week there has been a train (or more than one) in Maglia Rosa colours involved in the transport of the trophy between stage finishes.
The train(s) also managed to position themselves strategically during the race for impressive helicopter shots during the race itself.
On Tuesday the train was on the east coast north of Pescara, and today near Genoa.
The train(s) are of the "Pop" type of Alstom Coradia Stream regional trains being introduced across Italy.
It looks like quite a decent publicity event for Trenitalia.
