In this book, authors Martin Jenkins and Charles Roberts have compiled a selection of colour photographs illustrating the tramways of Milan between 1954 and 1978.
As one of Europe's largest tram systems, Milan has enjoyed a rich mix of city and inter-urban tram types and routes, as well as variety of depots and background scenery.
Photographs are arranged into chapters covering each type of tramcar to have operated in Milan during this period, with each chapter consisting of a short introduction to the tram type, a table of basic details and a series of colour photographs, each accompanied by a caption.
Tramways in Milan in Colour 1954-1978 provides a fascinating look at tramways in Milan during a period of modernisation. Text is in both English and Italian. Hardback. 144 pages.
