The locomotives of the series E.444, more precisely 117 units, were put into service by the Italian State Railways as express train locomotives from 1970 on. Due to a ‘name the locomotive’ competition held by the FS, these locomotives were given a tortoise symbol and henceforth were commonly known as “Tartaruga”. All locomotives were redesigned between 1989 and 1997 and, after the maximum speed was increased from 180 to 200 km/h, were designated E.444R. In the process, they also lost their characteristic round appearance.
