It was one hundred years ago when the first electic tram went out from the Verona walls and arrived in the village (now, sadly, part of the town) where I was born and I live actually.
This is the picture taken that day. As you see there are hats and caps........
No Charlie I'm not so long-lived...even if my grand father arrived until 96 and my father is around 93
There is my grand aunt in the picture, the youngest sister of my grandmother.
