By:Dave Carson
Dates:1/1/1972 - 6/11/2024
Album Info:"Funiculì, Funiculà" is a famous Neapolitan song written in 1880 to commemorate the opening of the first funicular cable car on Mount Vesuvius. The 1880 cable car was later destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 1944. This album contains photos of funicular railways from my collection.
