CET or CEST for June Travel on ItaliaRail

Transportation

Sorry for what can possibly be a silly question, but I am confused by CET vs CEST time on my Italia Rail reservation.

On March 1, I bought a train ticket on Italia Rail from Rome to Florence for travel on June 21.

On my reservation email, it explicitly says the time of departure is 10:30am CET.

However, on June 21, Italy is on CEST time.

So, is my train ticket really for 11:30am local time in Rome on that day in June 21? Or do i catch my train at 10:30am local time in Rome?
