Train from Rome to Turin

Traveling from Rome to Turin means leaving Italy's modern-day capital and arriving in the historic capital from when Italy first became a unified country. 

Driving from Rome to Turin would take over seven hours, which is why taking a high-speed train to cover such a long distance is clearly the best idea.
