You can now book rail pass reservations without paying booking fees on the OBB website (OBB operates these trains).Though the process for doing so isn't particularly obvious, hence this step-by-step guide.
Reservations can be arranged and paid for at Roma Termini station, or at the reservation desks at major Italian stations (ideally do this when you first arrive in Italy on your itinerary)
Making the rail pass reservation in advance is particularly recommended if you will be traveling between June and September.
If you wait until arriving in Roma to reserve, your first choice of accommodation may have sold out.
