“Dante Alighieri” - 0-4-0T steam engine
Henschel & Sohn - 1883
One of the oldest steam engines in Italy, if not the oldest.
1 of 6 built for tramway from Pisa to Pontedera. (See ALT text)
It sits on the original route of the “Tramvie a vapore della provincial di Pisa”.

Enjoying Saint Arnold Belgian IPA brewed in Bristol c/o Steve K.
Second beer was a standout: Saint Arnold from Hop Union Brewery. Belgian IPA. Again with the fruitiness. Tasty.
