The Funicolare vesuviana was a funicular railway up Mount Vesuvius that operated from 1880 to 1944. She became known through the advertising song Funiculì, Funiculà, which was composed for the opening of the railway. The railway operated as a monorail from 1880 to 1900 and as a normal funicular from 1903 to 1944.
