As mentioned above, price for the one-way ticket for express train starts from 20 euro and duration is almost 3 hours to reach the destination.

I recommend to use this option for a longer trip version with visit to other cities on your way. For instance, you can visit Parma, Bologna, Florence and Siena.
Since two main Italian international airports located in Rome and Milan, getting from one city to another by plane is also easy and accessible. However, this option is the most expensive one if you are not going to buy tickets in advance.

There are buses that connect both airports with Milan central station (Milano Centrale) and trains that run from Milano Malpensa to the central station.
