Seat reservation problems for Italy train journeys in August

Question

Hello everyone,I am planning to travel to Italy in August, and I have several train journeys that require seat reservations. However, I am encountering some issues and would appreciate any advice.My planned trips are:	8th August: Milan to Venice			10th August: Venice to Milan			13th August: Milan to Brig	The timetable for the Milan to Venice route keeps changing—sometimes there is a direct train available, and sometimes not.Additionally, when I try to make seat reservations through ÖBB applying a discount (Eurail Pass), I keep getting a message saying "ticket not available."Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can resolve it? Thank you very much for your help!

Verona - Vicenza is closed between 5th and 25th August (works on connecting the new high-speed line to the regular mainline). High-speed trains are rerouted the long way round via the Bologna outskirts, extra 90-100 min journey time. Eurail is reflecting that change while ÖBB doesn’t (yet).

I’d suggest using Rail Europe (no booking fees, click on add rail pass): https://www.raileurope.com/

The direct trains will be more enjoyable than changing in Bologna. Departures at 07:15, 08:17*, 08:45, 10:45, 12:15, etc. from Milan.

*08:17 from Milano Porta Garibaldi.
