In 1890 a tram started running from Firenze to Fiesole powered by electricity. Firenze was at the time the capital of the Regno d'Italia. This novel event in the history of transport was probably what inspired the composition of this music. See http://www.ataf.net/it/azienda/storia/la-nostra-storia/1865-1890.aspx?idC=187&LN=it-IT
