Captioning made possible by the Annenberg Cpb project this is siena, a wonderfully preserved Medieval City in central italy. At its heyday around 1300, it was one of the most civilized and prosperous places in europe. Siena and other italian citystates can stand as a new beginning in our story of western art. Hitherto, the old medieval world view had, put simply, divided the classes of society into the aristocracy at the top, the church, and the laboring peasantry at the bottom.

During that time, munni rebuilt 69 city blocks of tracks and restored, repaired or rebuilt 38 cable cars. In 2000, ktvus ross mcgowen gave us this brief history of cable cars in the city by the bay. In the city where tony bennett left his car the cable car is part of the legend. But the lines are but a mere shadow of the cable car system that once connected the citys neighborhoods. The cable car was the way to go. There were virtually no electric streetcars but after the earthquake that changed. Only eight cable cars remainedded. Over the next 30 years three of those would stop operating the castro line, and the sacramento play line. In 1987, mayor lapa tried to shut down the cable cars all over.
