Hours
Roma Termini to Venezia Santa Lucia runs in under 4 hours by Frecciarossa, about 32 connections a day routed via Firenze, Bologna and Padova; departures from Rome run roughly 05:35 to 19:35, with Venezia Santa Lucia arrivals separately timed from Venezia Mestre since they are different stops on the same line.

Easy to get wrong
Venezia Mestre and Venezia Santa Lucia are two different stops on the Roma-Venezia Frecciarossa line, roughly ten minutes apart by rail -- Trenitalia's own timetable lists them with separate arrival times, and boarding at the wrong one adds a further connection into central Venice.
