“A ghost of a tramway,” the old woman muttered, her eyes fixed on the spot where Raccordo Dezza once stood. “Gone now, vanished like the city’s memory itself.” Raccordo Dezza. It’s a name that might not ring a bell for most, even here in Milan. Yet, for a brief period, this railway junction played a vital, if short-lived role in the city’s bustling network. You see, before the sleek trams of today, there were horse-drawn carriages, lumbering their way through Milan’s streets. Raccordo Dezza, a testament to that bygone era, was a point where these lines converged, a fleeting crossroads for passengers and commerce. Sadly, its time was short, swallowed up by progress just like those horse-drawn carriages it once served. Like so many whispers of the past, Raccordo Dezza faded, its tracks pulled up, its purpose forgotten. Only fragments remain, echoes in the city’s layout, a name on a faded map, and perhaps, the wistful memory of an old woman who remembers when this silent street hummed with the clatter of hooves and the promise of journeys yet to come.
