It was founded on 1 July 2001 in accordance with a European directive on rail transport that called for the separation of the infrastructure operator and the service operators. Before that the Italian rail network was managed directly by FS.[1] The agency has been periodically accused to a failure to be impartial, including allegations of favouring sibling company Trenitalia over independent operations.
