It'd take around 24 hours to get to Rome from Poznan by train.

Example:
Depart Poznan 19:15
Arrive Berlin 22:14

Dep Berlin 23:51
Arr Munich 09:12

Dep Munich 09:30
Arr Rome 19:45

There are a number of ways to get there by train. You could go via
Vienna and Venice, Berlin and Milano, Berlin and Bologna etc etc.

Poznan, Poland is rather small city. I guess from Poznan take express
train to Berlin-Germany (about 150 miles west from Poznan) biggest
city and transportation center in this part of Europe. I guess from
Berlin you can catch easy express train to Rome.

You may also consider going by bus. They run almost every day, take about
24h and cost less than $70 US one way.

This is called an 'open jaw'. A->B, C->A. As I understand it, the basic
rule is that AB and CA must each be longer than BC--but (talking about
an itinerary that begins in the USA and goes to Europe) that isn't going
to be a factor in your case.

Open jaw is convenient and it can be especially advantageous if time is
a big factor. However, it comes at a cost. Depending on the specifics of
your situation, you might be better off getting a normal return A-B-A
and finding a(n additional) cheap flight from C back to B. Europe is
full of no-frills, cut-rate carriers, such as Ryanair, easyJet, etc.
They work on a point-to-point basis, so you don't get gouged on a
one-way ticket.

Good luck.

cheers,

I'd try:

plane USA->Berlin->Rome->USA
plus
train Berlin->Poznan->Berlin

No direct trains.
