Description

The 1930 invoice issued by the company “Energía eléctrica de Cataluña SA” and received by the Vilalba Sasserra Town Council is a simple but revealing document of the modernization process of public services in Catalonia. This piece reflects the progressive implementation of electricity in small towns, and the transformation of everyday life thanks to technology. It is part of the themes of economic engines and collective services, and shows how modernity reached the whole territory, connecting Catalonia with the great processes of electrification and infrastructure development that were experienced throughout Europe.
