The background story
I've been taken by the beauty of its historic trams, since I first came to Milan.
They glide like majestic ships through the streets, forming an important part of the city’s identity and adding to the elegance that Milan is so famous for. The trams are from a past era, they were built almost 100 years ago, but at the same time they are super advanced, providing a completely zero-emission, quasi on demand, way of urban transportation and they remain very contemporary with the colourful ‘homepage-takeover’ ads that some of them sport.
Of the 502 that were made originally, 136 trams are still operational. As a tribute to the trams themselves and the poster child of urban sustainability that they really are, I decided to photograph and catalog each tram that is still operational.
It took me over two years to catch them all. You can see them all here
