These two daily direct trains depart from Verona at 14:32 and 16:32; so target those departure times when looking up this journey.
Though when looking up this journey you will see more than a dozen daily journey options, which all involve changing trains in Roma.
Tickets for the Trenitalia Frecce trains are placed on sale around 6 months in advance, but the Italo train tickets on this route are seemingly made available around 3 to 4 months ahead.
Trenitalia does not sell tickets for the Italo trains; and Italo does not sell tickets for the Trenitalia trains.
If you're booking no more than 4 months ahead and have no particular preference for the train that you will be taking, the price and departure times of the Frecce and Italo trains can be directly compared on Trainline or Omio, though look out for the fact that both of these services will charge a booking fee.
