The trip has always been one of the tools of knowledge that has fascinated generations of young people, intellectuals and writers. Reports of travel (think to Milione Marco Polo) are important witnesses, although subjective, which open to the world an insight into past and present.
The train is, by his invention, a means of transport more convenient, environmentally friendly and affordable for all to explore a vast country or a small region. However, often with the development of global mobility by road, many lines have been abandoned or disused. For this reason, in this section we offer links to sites that are dedicated to the history of the railways and the recovery and / or maintenance of the historical memory of these lines which for a stupid choice have been removed.
