For the 2015 Expo in Milan, make sure you take your mobile phone with you.
The city will be ridding itself of nearly all its public telephone booths, in an act which will change the city scape.
While we’ll probably get used to it very quickly until needing a public phone some day, it’s certainly a big leap of faith into modern technology.

The first public phone booth ever to be installed in Italy was back in 1952 in Piazza San Babila, Milan.

Telecom Italia is undertaking to remove nearly all the booths in Milan this year, although citizens will have an opportunity to indicate where a booth should stay.
Communications authorities have said that any phone booth to be removed should carry a sign stating as such prior to removal, with phone numbers and email addresses which can be contacted in the case of residents wishing to keep the booth.
The Italian phone booths might not be as attractive as the ones in London, and with Italians’ obsession over texting and calling, it seems a logical thing to do.
