Italy has a well developed public and private transportation options. Of the intercity public transportation options, the Italian rail system is nearly universal in the North and widespread in the South, eclipsing the need for an extensive alternative such as bus or air (both of which, however, exist to some extent). While a number of private railroads exist and provide mostly commuter-type services, the national railway, Trenitalia or Ferrovie dello Stato, also provides sophisticated high speed rail service that joins the major cities of Italy from Naples through northern cities such as Milan and Venice. Because Italy has an unusually long seacoast, however, Italy also has a disproportionately large number of harbors for the transportation of both goods and passengers. Italy has been a seafaring peninsula dating back to the days of the Etruscans and the Greeks.
