This is a new recent discovery of my friend Davide that found this beauty on a lost pylon on the peak of a mountain. We recently understood (thanks to an old catalogue) that it was manufactured by Richard-Ginori around 1907 circa for a maximum voltage of 50kV, and it was assigned the number 1053. It is a very big Paderno model, just a bit smaller than the better known one used on the Chiomonte-Turin powerline in 1910. This is the same specimen that we can see in this old drawing [[[id=521222288]]]

In this picture you can see the big Paderno just after the rescue.
