(TGA) - Wondered if Pensioner Concession Cards are recognized in Italy for rail transport etc?

I doubt it. Concessions are limited to inhabitants of European Community countries because we all pay taxes into the Community

No. You will not get concessional rail travel.
Officially, senior discounts for most attractions are limited to EU citizens, but my wife and I have found that sometimes the ticket-seller looks at us and issues concession tickets.

I have traveled with elderly people and teens in Italy and neither get discounts given to EU citizens on museums or other venues -- the argument is 'reciprocity' but since ALL EU citizens get ALL senior discounts in the US, this is bogus --

The Italian government wants a formal agreement with the US government. But to enter such an agreement would require the formal consent of every one of the US State governments. This is not high in the priorities of the US Department of State.
