The two dead are thought to be train drivers. At least one person, a janitor on the train, had great wounds but not so many to take his life.
The train was traveling from Milan City to the southern city of Salerno, writes BBC, translates Periscopi.
All emergency services on Milan-Blogna's route have been suspended and removed towards other conventional lines.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Rome said that although there have been occasional clashes on Italy's regional trains, this is the first high-speed train incident.
Trains have a speed of 300 miles per hour and are generally efficient and safe.
The causes of the accident are still under investigation. On the train were 28 passengers, a number of whom suffered minor injuries. /Periscope
