This captivating journey through Italy's railways from the post-war period to the 1980s is told through a collection of stunning images, many of which are unpublished, in both black and white and color. The photographs, taken by some of the best photographers, are paired with stories from those who worked on steam-powered trains. This is not just a book about trains or a photo album; it is an effort to tell, through words and images, the story of the last years of steam traction in Tuscany.
