International Conference "Trams from past to future"

On the twentieth anniversary of its foundation, ATTS is glad to announce the nineteenth edition of the Torino Trolley Festival, which will be held on the first weekend of December. It is a tier event that has no equal in Italy and ranks among the major historical tram events worldwide. It takes place every year on the Turin tramway system, a network that boasts two tram lines regularly operated with authentic historic cars: the circular line 7 and the Sassi-Superga rack tramway. The historic fleet, jointly managed by ATTS and GTT (the Turin public transport company), is the largest in Italy. This special “20th anniversary” edition will focus on two events: an International Conference on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 December, and a Big Tram Parade on Sunday 7 December. Their main purpose, consistent with the ATTS mission, is to enhance the tramway as historical and cultural heritage of the cities.
