Most narrow-gauge railways in Italy were built with Italian metre gauge , which is actually 950 mm (3 ft 1 + 3 8 in ) because historically the Italian track gauge was defined from the centres of the rail instead of the internationally accepted method of measuring the gauge from the inside edges of the rails.
Several metre-gauge lines were built in northern Italy .
123 km 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 8 in ) gauge (123 km electrified); 1,290 km 950 mm (3 ft 1 + 3 8 in ) gauge (151 km electrified); 231 km 850 mm (2 ft 9 + 15 32 in ) gauge (2008)[1]

In Sardinia , a network of narrow-gauge lines (950 mm / 3 ft 1 + 3 8 in ) was built, to complement the standard-gauge main network which covered the main cities and ports. The lines were:
Of the lines which are still present, only
still carry regular passenger services, operated by Ferrovie della Sardegna .[2] Trenino Verde
In Sassari , the Sassari Tram-train (or Metrosassari) is a 950mm-gauge tramway linking the railway station with the city centre.
Sicily

In Sicily , the Ferrovia Circumetnea railway runs around the Mount Etna . Other 950 mm (3 ft 1 + 3 8 in ) narrow-gauge lines of Ferrovie dello Stato operated, but are now closed. The last of which was the Castelvetrano –Porto Empedocle , closed in 1985.
