During World War I, while many men were at the front, young women took the helm of Brescia’s trams — the tramvierine. Though initially met with suspicion, they and their work soon proved essential and became the symbol of a profound social shift. Their story tells the tale of an evolving city, where hardship gave rise to emancipation, courage and new opportunities for change and redemption.
