It would be even more awesome, if it were directly connected to the German train system, but on the German side, the connection is severely lacking and might not be there for many years. The state of the German railway system is pretty scandalous. The connection to the Swiss is also overloaded.
Yeah I'm unfortunately well aware. Also, Bolzano-Verona is quite lacking! But the Berlin–Palermo railway axis is one of the "core" projects of the EU, so I hope it will improve in time
