Riguardo la diatriba sul passaggio o meno del tram da piazza del Duomo a Firenze propongo delle immagini che risalgono agli anni 30 dello scorso secolo quando nello stesso luogo esisteva una linea tranviaria successivamente smantellata per fare posto agli inquinanti bus diesel. Le foto sono tratte da un articolo in inglese del sito Irta intitolato " Firenze; trams return to the city of art "
Come testimonia la foto l'impatto dell'infrastruttura era devastante. Sulla sinistra della foto, non visibili a causa dell'inquadratura troppo stretta, si trovano il Duomo e il Battistero. A destra i binari si perdevano per via Martelli e proseguivano towards Via Cavour, while we see perfectly the path that winds along Via de 'Cerretani. We are in 1930.
Below we see the tram in a photo of Florence in the late '30s, the site is always Irta, stop at a stop opposite the station of Santa Maria Novella. As you can see the tram consisted of a simple and streamlined cab.
But what impact the new tram infrastructure? A tram consists of five coaches for a length of nearly 33 feet, as a building of 11 floors and horizontally.
Of course I can not see the structure built in Piazza del Duomo, does not exist yet, but I propose what we should be taking the example of what is put in place in the stretch, similar, located in the municipality of Scandicci, where the tram line T1 is already operational for a year.
Each draw their own considerations. Add recalling that Florence has a center consisting of roads, buildings, contents that are 'UNESCO World Heritage'.
Below some pictures taken from my other blog "Florence in the Details" at the end of December last year 2010, taken in Piazza del Duomo where it should go (maybe) the tram. In everlasting memory for posterity.
