The Marconi Express
Fast and predictable, but it leaves you at the station, with a walk or a ride still ahead of you. A return ticket is better value.
A transfer
≈ €80 to the door. During Cersaie and Cosmoprof weeks, when the taxi rank runs dry, booking ahead is the only guarantee of leaving at a sensible price.
Alone and travelling light, take the Marconi Express. From two people up, with luggage, or during fair weeks, a transfer at about €80 is simply easier: to the door, with your bags, and no changes.
