For most film or TV show producers, a tram is a tram, a train is a train, a motorcycle is a motorcycle, no matter how anachronistic or inappropriate, knowing that only the “rivet counters” would notice or care about it. With bikes, often product placement is involved, like with a late model Harley-Davidson in a Raiders of the Lost Ark movie set before WW2.

It sounds like they at least found an Italian tram and didn’t trot over to Crich and try passing off some double decker as Genoese.

This appeared to be of wooden construction, with the framework revealed and the usual outer cladding removed. Looked to me like a Peter Witt from Milan. Had Peter Witts ever operated in Genoa.? Moreover the livery was orange. When I last saw trams in Genoa, they were flush sided, the sort of semi stream lined tram favoured in the 1940s, and finished in a two tone green livery - and eventually scrapped when the system later closed. Towards the end there was another street scene, with what appeared to be similar to a Duewag motor plus trailer set from the 1950s, again finished in an orange livery.
