Narrow solutions

Many Italian towns and cities have narrow streets, built long before there were cars. Italians are ingenious at finding solutions for providing services to town centres.

I spotted this fabulous orange delivery truck, with matching driver, in lovely Lucca.

…and the amazing Ape can’t be left out. These little vehicles go everywhere and perform all kinds of useful tasks.
