The first validation stamp is printed automatically by our office and will appear on the top right-hand corner of the pass.
Should your ticket not be validated, you can be fined up to 200 Euros when traveling throughout Europe. Don't forget to remove the ticket from the machine, or you will have to purchase a new ticket on the train!. Insert the ticket in the slot provided on the validation machine, and the ticket will be validated with a date stamp. Next, find the platform for your train - every platform has validation machines nearby. Go first to the self-service ticketing machine (usually in the main ticketing hall) and enter your PNR confirmation to print your ticket. If you are traveling on an e-Ticket and your reservation has been marked "Print at Train Station," you need to print this coupon and you might, depending on the type of ticket, need to validate it before boarding. If you have a seat reservation e-ticket (electronic ticket) with a "ticketless" confirmation but you are travelling with a Rail Pass (EurRail or InterRail), you need to have your printed Rail Passes with you, or you might be fined by the train conductor. If you have an e-ticket (electronic ticket) with a "ticketless" confirmation you can simply board the train, without printing or validating a ticket. 
Note that tickets for Trenitalia's high-speed trains always come with reservations, which means they didn't need to be validated before and they still don't need to be validated. This validation must take place before you board the train - there's nowhere to validate a ticket on the train, and you'll incur a fine if your ticket isn't validated. These tickets must still be validated using the machines typically found inside the station or on the platforms.
Regional tickets that are purchased at the station, however, only come with a date but no time. This means you can simply arrive at the train station, find your train, and get right on board. When you purchase a ticket online, you'll need to choose a travel date and time. This is because tickets now have a specific date and four-hour window of time in which they're valid. As of August 2016, Trenitalia tickets for regional trains that are purchased online no longer need to be validated before you board the train.
